The media is a powerful forum that can shape public view on race, gender, politics, religion and other social issues. Viewers can perceive certain people or groups differently, purely based on how they are presented in the media. Got Your 6 is a non-profit organization that seeks to shift how the public views veterans. Got Your 6 believes that Hollywood typically portrays veterans in two ways: either as heroes or as broken people. While this is true of some veterans, most re-enter the civilian world just seeking to resume their day-to-day lives, now that they are out of the service. In an effort to reward films and television projects that accurately portray veterans, Got Your 6 created the "6 Certified Initiative". "6 Certified" recently announced seven Hollywood projects that meet their standards of portraying veterans as assets and leaders. Those seven projects include: "Jurassic World" for Chris Pratt's portrayal of Navy...

"I killed a boa constrictor in Panama and ate that."
This is a phrase not often heard at Kate Mantilini, a swanky restaurant in Beverly Hills, Calif. But then, it's not every day that this entertainment industry hangout plays host to a former Navy Seal who's building a new career in reality television.
"I ate the most termites in South Africa," Joel Lambert tells Zap2it (for the record, he's eating a chopped salad with steak). "Termites are actually really tasty, but pull the heads off first. They'll stop wiggling. I ate a lot of grasshoppers in Arizona."
As you might guess from the opening quote, Lambert isn't taking over as host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" or joining the cast of "Big Brother." He's the chief competitor in Discovery Channel's "Lone Target," airing Thursdays.
Each week, Lambert is dropped into a different spot, with a maximum...
