Dennis Quaid will be recognized with the Patriot Ally Award at the 2nd Annual MV Awards in May, organizers said today.

The MV Awards, presented by the National Entertainment Awards Academy for Military & Veterans, will be held May 23 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Quaid’s award will be presented by the National and State Commander of the American Legion.

The evening will be co-hosted by actor and Iraq War veteran Maurice P. Kerry. A decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Kerry’s credits include Beyond the Gates and Law & Order: Organized Crime. He has worked alongside Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, and Chris Meloni.

“Maurice brings professionalism, presence, and heart to the stage,” said NEAAMV Chairman Joe Ramirez. “Having him co-host an evening that also honors Dennis Quaid reflects the caliber of voices supporting veterans in media.”
