Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger was recently presented the Navy SEAL Foundation’s Patriot Award. Iger received the award based on The Walt Disney Company’s program Heroes Work Here. The program was launched five years ago with a commitment to support military veterans and to provide jobs and career opportunities for U.S. veterans.
To date Heroes Work Here has reportedly placed 8,000 veterans in jobs throughout the Disney company while helping another 15,000 find jobs at other businesses. “My father served in the Navy in World War II. Back then war was an appreciated sacrifice. In Vietnam, the soldiers came back to a deeply divided nation. Every generation of veterans deserves a lifetime of gratitude,” Iger commented.
Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and former award recipient, presented the award to Iger at the Los Angeles Evening of Tribute. This event raised over $4 million for the Navy SEAL Foundation, which provides everything from financial to therapeutic support for post-9/11 veterans.
