IAVA in Variety (I wonder how many other Marines can say that a movie star is thinking about them):

“What I love about the IAVA is that they are so good at being advocates for these soldiers. They get them the best deals possible,” the actress says.

On April 30, Diaz hosted a fund-raiser with producer Norman Lear and CAA agent Nick Styne. “It connected our entertainment industry with IAVA,” Diaz says. “I met Staff Sgt. Todd Bowers. He just got called back for his fourth tour. He’s in Afghanistan. We’re friends. But he’s not my brother. He’s not my son. He’s not my husband. And I think about him every day.
