Hollywood star Chris Pratt took to the small screen on Friday to commemorate 9/11 with a homemade video tribute honoring U.S. veterans.

Pratt honored Mike Day, a former Navy SEAL who was shot 27 times while serving in Iraq.

Pratt vowed to donate $10,000 to help Day accomplish his goal of completing the Kona Ironman Race. While most people don’t have $10,000 to give a veteran, they can learn about a veteran, tell his story and post it as a tribute, which Pratt encouraged his fans to do.
