If you’re one of those people who have always wanted to be on TV but just didn’t fit the bill for Military Wives of Alaska, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Coming Home, or Army Wives (oh wait, those folks are real MilSpouses, never mind) – now may be your chance.
NBC has put out a casting call for servicemembers, veterans and military families to be featured in the new show celebrating “Unsung Heroes.”
According to this DoD story, they are looking to reward “selfless people” for “always paying it forward.”
From the story:
The show will involve someone — whether a friend, spouse, family member or even an acquaintance — surprising a deserving person with “the ultimate gift.” The recipient can be someone who always puts others first, deserves a lucky break, is underappreciated, saved someone’s life, or has made a difference in other people’s lives.
No word on exactly what this “ultimate gift” is … but I think it’s fair to say that anything tagged the “ultimate gift” is a good thing. Plus it’s always fun to see someone you know and love recognized for putting others before themselves, “ultimate gift” or not.
Want to apply? It sounds easy enough. Just send an email to submit4castingjt@gmail.com with the following info: name, occupation, contact info, explanation of why the person you’re nominating deserves attention and current photos of both you and the person you are submitting. Also, remember that because this is supposed to be a surprise, “mum” is the word – keep the nomination a secret!
Produces are looking to cast people in the next few weeks, so the article suggests you apply soon.

As a former medic for the United States military, I must say this would help bring to light what people go through, with so many military families experiences in many shapes and forms…the lives of everyone are affected are not just immediate families, but the extended, and even formerly divorced, child-in-common situations, and parents, and grandparents. They don't have as many resources or support as the military member, and are often not directly included in the pre-mobilization or post-mobilization process. Family members of our military and veterans need to be trained on such things as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, how to identify it, and how to get immediate assistance.
Many non-military families and people in general, do not understand, and have no insight…
