CITIZEN / SOLDIER III

March 25, 2010

Brigitte Bourget and the Bourget’s Bike Works team is honored to build Citizen/Solider III in conjunction with the Mississippi Army National Guard for the benefit of the Better Life Foundation and on behalf of 3 Doors Down. Citizen/Soldier III marks the sixth bike that Bourget’s has built for the charity and is the third in the Citizen/Solider series sponsored by the Mississippi Army National Guard. Citizen/Soldier III will be a 2010 Low-Blow 250 Chopper with an edgy, old school gangster type style with all the modern touches Bourget’s is famous for. CSIII will be unveiled on April 15, 2010 during Arizona Bike Week at the Bourget show truck at Westworld in Scottsdale, AZ. Lt. Col. Greg Michel, SGM Eddie Jenkins, Allison Bullock and other fellow guardsmen and women from the MSARNG will be on hand to help with the unveiling and kick off the raffle ticket sales!

This is the third year that Lt. Col. Greg Michel and his soldiers have signed on for the sponsorship of 3 Doors Down, The Better Life Foundation and Citizen/Soldier III and we appreciate them very much! After Arizona Bike Week ends CSIII will make its journey under the protection of the MSARNG to Jackson, MS where 3 Doors Down band members and crew and The Better Life Foundation members will have a private unveiling and viewing of the bike. CSIII will then be toured around the country in support of recruiting, retention, employer enhancement, and public awareness of the Mississippi Army National Guard. Watch for CSIII at local Gulf Coast area bike events and national major bike events too, including New Orleans Bike Week, Sturgis, Daytona Biketoberfest and more to be announced! Check back often for updated calendar of events where you can see Citizen/Solider III in person!

Citizen/Soldier III is valued at over $50,000.00 but you have the chance to win it for just $10.00 per ticket! You do not need to be present at the November 13th event to win. Tickets can be purchased right here on our website, through the MSARNG website, the 3 Doors Down website, and The Better Life Foundation’s website and in person at any of the events where CSIII is displayed. Tickets are available on-line now and will be available until one hour before the drawing on Nov 13, 2010.

Citizen/Solider III is an amazing tribute to an amazing group of people – American Soldiers – who defend and protect our Country and our Rights each and every day. Citizen/Soldier III honors all of our American Veterans and Soldiers with an amazing collage history of our country’s fight for freedom beginning with the Revolutionary war and the continued efforts to maintain our freedoms with scenes depicting World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and OIF/OEF Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom. The bike, like the 3 Doors Down song, Citizen/Soldier, honors the MSARNG and all American Soldiers and American Veterans across our great nation and was built with passion and pride by Brigitte Bourget and her crew on behalf of The Better Life Foundation, founded by 3 Doors Down. CSIII will be raffled and one person will win on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the Horseshoe Casino/Hotel in Tunica, MS prior to a 3 Doors Down concert. You do not need to be present to win, BUT, if you are you will be treated to VIP seats for the 3 Doors Down concert and have the opportunity to meet the guys from the band. To purchase VIP tickets for the show, please call (251) 586-2208.

Not to be repetitive, BUT, TICKETS ARE ONLY $10.00, and you do NOT have to be present to win! Proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets and the silent auction will go to THE BETTER LIFE FOUNDATION. The Better Life Foundation was established to give back to the band’s hometown community, the Gulf Coast region, for the purpose of improving the lives of impoverished and underprivileged children.
