It doesn't matter what baseball team you root for -- here is a great reason to watch Game 3 of the World Series tonight.
IAVA has teamed up with Major League Baseball Charities (MLB) and the prestigious Ad Council to launch a national public service advertising (PSA) campaign called "Welcome Back Veterans." The PSA, featuring voiceover by Oscar Award winner Tom Hanks, debuts tonight during Game 3 of the World Series.
The PSA announces a brand new website: WelcomeBackVeterans.org. The new website is an amazing resource for people who are looking to make a difference in the lives of our returning veterans. It features some of the best veterans' support organizations, along with a list of resources for the men and women making the transition back to civilian life.
In case you're not going to be able to watch the game tonight, you can watch the ad now at WelcomeBackVeterans.org.
"Welcome Back Veterans" is a great step towards connecting the American public with the troops returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. And we couldn't wish for a better time to launch the campaign than during the World Series.
Tom Hanks??
Why not Tom Hanks? These men and women deserve the support of ALL Americans! Hopefully the ad will engage people who do not have a friend/family member in the service but who will be coworkers or bosses.
“Why not Tom Hanks? These men and women deserve the support of ALL Americans!”
I agree, just surprised. Thanks, Tom!
99% of the “prestigious” Ad Council’s stuff is liberal nanny-state BS. This qualifies as the 1% that isn’t.
I’ve seen the insidious IAVA commercials but this is the first WBV one I’ve seen - the Wookie was just on the FLA/BOS spring training game telling the returning servicemen it’s all right, mommy will take care of them. {spit}
IAVA is a George Soros outfit that tries to convince veterans that Democrats are in their corner and that Republicans/Tea Party types are evil.
