Music, movies, and television stars gathered in Los Angeles today to launch Got Your 6 ("I've got your back" in military lingo), a campaign to reintroduce military veterans and culture to the public and help them reintegrate into civilian life. The U.S. Chamber’s Hiring Our Heroes program is the lead partner for the jobs pillar of the campaign.
Here are a few tweets about the event:

Schmiegel lives a rough life. When not hobnobbing with celebrities he’s helping to get 500,000 veterans and military spouses jobs. I hope he doesn’t go all Hollywood on us.
