KCAL: Hollywood Honors New Vets

On April 27th, Bradley Cooper, Kathy Griffin and other Hollywood stars came together to support our nation's newest veterans and their families at the Third Annual Heroes Celebration in Los Angeles. At the Celebration, IAVA honored the work of Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, filmmakers of the Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo, with the inaugural Leadership in Entertainment Award.

KCAL interviewed IAVA's Senior Legislative Associate about the importance of the event and about the issues facing new veterans.

Special thanks to all our Sponsors and Patrons who made this Third Annual Heroes Celebration a huge success for our veterans! To learn more about supporting IAVA's mission and next year's Heroes Celebration, click here.
