Nephew of VIetnam Vet raising money for wounded with Hero

HERO MUSIC VIDEO DEDICATED TO INJURED SOLDIERS
A Film/Video project in Los Angeles, CA by Jon Collins Band

The Jon Collins Band has released their new album “HERO” to rave reviews. They have decided to create a music video for the title track single “Hero” dedicated it to all the U.S. service men and women who have been injured over the last 10 years in the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Over the last 10 years, over 43,000 U.S. soldiers have officially been injured in these two wars. However, some estimates put that number at over 100,000. Including these injured soldiers’ mothers and fathers, sons and daughters and husband and wives, literally millions of Americans have been directly impacted by these injuries.

Jon Collins' had personal experience with this when his uncle was injured in the Vietnam war. After his uncle and tens of thousands of other soldiers returned with injuries in the ‘70s, most of them suffered and recovered in silence. Because of the opposition to the war, many of their psychological wounds lingered in ways that affected our country for decades after.
