Wounded Warrior Project presented The Style & Beauty Suite -  a star-studded celebration of service, presented with love to the wounded warriors and their families.
 
Blake Lewis, Dean Norris, Elliott Yamin, Jason George, Jes Mcallan, Joely Fisher, Judith Hill, Kevin Pearce, Linda Cardellini, Lindsay Arnold and Nestor Serrano were amongst the stars who co-hosted the Wounded Warrior Project® Style & Beauty Suite.

 The Emmy Awards weekend, the Style & Beauty Suite at Avalon Hollywood, hosted by Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), connected some of the biggest names in television with our nation’s wounded service members to provide a true Hollywood experience. 

The nonprofit organization, whose mission is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors, brought veterans and their families to Hollywood,  to enjoy a much-deserved day of appreciation for their selfless and brave service.


Wounded warrior Dan Nevins
The first speaker at Wounded Warrior’s Emmy Lounge wasn't a wounded warrior, but a champion snowboarder and traumatic brain injury survivor Kevin Pearce.

He showed photos of himself on the big screen before the injury: “Look how focused my eyes were before the accident ” he said.

 Kevin Pearce is a champion Snowboarder, Sports Commentator, motivational speaker and advocate for those effected by Traumatic Brain Injuries and Downs Syndrome via his Kevin Pearce Fund.

At age 18, Kevin soared on to the professional snowboard stage, winning over ten snowboarding competitions all over the world, including four medals at the XGames.
 
"Look at my focused eyes
 before accident' said Kevin Pierce
While training for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Kevin suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury. His ongoing rehabilitation and training has been an inspiration to both the international snowboard community and fans around the world. Kevin is the subject of the 2013 documentary “The Crash Reel” directed by Lucy Walker which premiered at the 2013 Sun Dance Film Festival, and aired on HBO throughout the summer, and is set for a theatrical run this December.

The second speaker was wounded warrior Dan Nevins.  
Dan Nevins began his military career out of high school as an enlisted paratrooper.
Following the completion of his eight-year enlistment, Dan remained in the California Army National Guard while earning a bachelor of science in business administration from Sonoma State University.
In February 2004 Staff Sergeant Nevins was deployed to Balad, Iraq where he served as a squad leader.
On November 10, 2004 an improvised explosive device detonated beneath the vehicle in which he was a passenger, and Dan would ultimately sacrifice both of his legs below the knee.
Dan credits Wounded Warrior Project for his successful rehabilitation, positive attitude, "can do" spirit, and more importantly his passion for helping his fellow warriors in any way he can.

Operation Iraqi Freedom refers to military operations in Iraq that began March 19, 2003 and officially ended August 31, 2010. Operation Enduring Freedom refers to combat operations in Afghanistan and other regions in support of the Global War on Terror.
