Military veterans who have transitioned to new forms of service in their civilian life were the focus of the second annual Variety and Voices Magnified “Salute to Service” special that aired Thursday on History in honor of Veterans Day.
“Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts hosted the hourlong program, which featured appearances by President George W. Bush, “GMA” anchor Michael Strahan, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and former ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff.
The special featured vignettes of a range of people “who served in the military and then continued to serve their countries and communities,” as Roberts explained, from a quadruple amputee who now runs a retreat center for veterans in Maine to a former Navy Lt. Commander who is pursuing his dream of becoming a NASCAR driver.
