After sponsoring a Valentine’s Day Sweetheart Contest for veterans of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, adjustable bed maker Transfer Master Products announced two winners of adjustable beds: Army veteran Donald Gene Swiney Sr. of Fort Rucker, Ala., who served during the first Gulf War, and Army veteran William Owens of Largo, Fla., who has done two tours of duty in Iraq.
The contest was promoted on the Postville, Iowa–based company’s Facebook page and blog, where spouses, sweethearts, family members and others explained why their loved ones deserved a new bed.
Winners were announced on “The Jim Bohannon Show” syndicated radio program. The company said nominations were so compelling, it decided to award two grand prizes.
