Richard Jones, a Syracuse University graduate (’92, G’95, L’95) and IVMF Advisory Board Member was selected this year for Variety’s Salute To Service Impact List.  Each year, Variety selects individuals in the entertainment industry that are making an impact in the military and veteran space. Jones shares the list with other notable names like Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, and Jon Stewart.
