"I Know a Hero When I See One," Tom Hanks in New PSA
Acclaimed actor, filmmaker and our Hidden Heroes Campaign Chair Tom Hanks brings vital attention to service of military caregivers in a new public service announcement. Hanks appears in the PSA with military caregiver Jessica Allen, her husband Army Staff Sergeant Chaz Allen and their two daughters, Ryann and Deryn.“Military caregivers don’t often ask for help, but they deserve our support,” says the Oscar-winning actor. “Senator Elizabeth Dole can be pretty persuasive, so that’s why I’ve raised my hand and have committed to Hidden Heroes. Together, we all can bring military caregivers out of the shadows to honor their service and strengthen their support systems.”Broadcast spots have been distributed to television stations across the country. A print version will appear in national magazines such as Redbook, Essence and Town & Country, starting in October.
