As a way to help spread the word about their new PSA ad campaign, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) has created a special promotional video starring our own Ryan A. Conklin. The purpose of the video is to ask people to watch the new PSA and to tell everyone they know about it.In the video, which was shot during Ryan's R&R in September, Ryan tells the viewers that he has a job with the IAVA working for Paul Rieckhoff. His job has only one responsibility, to get everyone in America to see the new PSA. He knows it is a daunting task, because it means he has to get over 307,000,000 people to view it.
In the video, Ryan presents the 30 second PSA, called "Camouflage". The message is that no veteran needs to feel alone, because fellow veterans are all around them.
After he shows the video within the video, Ryan says that he has promised the IAVA that he will have everyone in America see the ad by the time he comes back from Iraq for good.
He pleads, "Tell all your friends on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, carrier pigeon, text message, whatever you got. Just help me spread the word."

So if you are a real fan of Ryan Conklin, and you would like to do something to help him out, then post either the link or the video itself, everywhere. Do it!
By the way, the following video proves how good Ryan does on TV with scripted material. Ryan's got potential. Somebody in TV land needs to cast him.
