Some lucky soldier will be soon holding a set of keys to their new Victory Motorcycle thanks to Polaris Industries and Operation Gratitude.

In typical motorcycle style, the bike in question roared into a "Support the Troops Rally" style event with a record-breaking two thousand cheering Operation Gratitude volunteers witnessing the arrival of a very special gift to be sent in the organization's 600,000th Care Package; a 2011 Victory Vegas 8-Ball.

SSG Elizabeth Cowie, co-founder of the organization, rode the bike onto the drill floor and added the motorcycle's key, along with several other unique gifts to the Milestone package, proudly assembled and held by Ann Kurachi, a cheerleader from Trabuco Hills High School. Kurachi was flanked by Santa Claus and dozens of Military dignitaries, elected officials and Operation Gratitude "Hard Corps" Volunteers.

Carolyn Blashek, who started the organization in 2003, thanked Victory Motorcycles, a division of Polaris Industries, for their generous donation of the motorcycle, and recognized the tens of thousands of volunteers, donors and supporters who have contributed throughout the years to the assembly and shipment of 600,000 care packages.

In addition to the all-black, Victory Vegas 8-Ball cruiser, the 600,000th package will include a year's supply of both Emergen-C and 5 Hour Energy, a lovingly hand-made scarf, a Flip camera from Café Press, a DVD player, a MEElectronics M-9 Earphone Set, t-shirts and hats from Victory Motorcycles, Operation Gratitude and UCLA, a signed picture from the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders, and assorted items and personal letters provided by more than 250 Corporate Sponsors and Friends, and by tens of thousands of individual donors across the country.

Operation Gratitude annually sends 100,000+ care packages filled with snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in harm's way. The organization's mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member's face and express to our Armed Forces the appreciation and support of the American people.

A secret but very special delivery of the 600,000th Care Package is underway.

The 2011 Victory Vegas 8-Ball has a new 106 cubic inch Freedom V-Twin engine, a 6 speed overdrive transmission, and 113 ft-pounds of torque. The bike will be customized with the "Victory Military Salute Badge," the symbol of Victory's gratitude to the men and women who sacrifice for our freedom.

"Operation Gratitude Care Packages are an expression of enormous respect and appreciation for those who voluntarily put themselves in harm's way to protect our freedom," exclaimed Blashek. "This exciting 600,000th package event represents a celebration of all the brave Americans who wear the uniform of our great nation. We are honored to send this package to a young Service Member currently deployed in harm's way, who represents all our courageous heroes, past, present and future from all branches of the Military."
