Having had my husband deploy first as a part of the military, and currently as a civilian contractor I know first hand the sacrifice these men, women, and families make everyday.
I think it is so easy to get caught up in our day to day and forget that there are still men and women who are the first responders here at home and many still overseas fighting for our everyday freedoms.
The Tribeca Film Festival choose to honor our everyday heroes at the closing night red carpet screening of Marvel’s The Avengers.
Service Men and Women
Chris Hemsworth (Thor) with everyday heroes
Robert Downey Jr. (Ironman) Giving Props
Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) and heroes
Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson) shaking hands
Tom Hiddleston (Loki) embraces the troops
I made sure to express my thanks as well
Cobie Smulders (Agent Maria Hill) cuddles up to a Little Captain America
Little Captain America and his real life superhero daddy!
(You may remember these two from the “Captain America surprises his son after long deployment video.”
Everyday is a great day to thank an everyday hero. If you see one, say thank you for their service and sacrifice. These real life superheroes truly make them everyday.
Make sure you connect with Marvel’s The Avengers on Facebook & Twitter. You can still follow the event hashtag #TheAvengersEvent on Twitter to keep up with the latest updates.
