Harry Shaw comes from true military stock. His father was career military, served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam, and was a Bataan Death March survivor. Harry's mother served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. Harry followed in their Army footsteps and served two tours in Vietnam. He completed his formal education in Los Angeles.

Harry has sat at the helm of numerous real estate and entertainment companies over the past 30 years to include exercising his unique business administration and finance background as CFO for the Founder of Tri-Star Pictures at Sierra Entertainment.

He even put on a political hat to serve as Chairman of Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley's Veteran Advisory Committee where he produced the "Thank You Veterans Parade" and concert in Los Angeles, and provided fund-raising and technical assistance for the "Welcome Home Veterans Parade" in Chicago and New York. He also produced Bruce Springsteen's "Concert for Vietnam Veterans" at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in which proceeds benefited improvement of job training for veterans in South Central.

"Retired" at 56 years of age as a 100% service-connected disabled American Veteran, Harry continues to be frequently called upon by celebrities and the motion picture and television industry to provide advice regarding involvement in military and veteran related projects.

Shaw proudly spends most of his time today, traveling back and forth to the Pentagon, Department of Veterans Affairs and NASA, as well as, to military bases across the nation all in an effort to produce the award-winning and globally televised American Veteran Awards to best serve America's service members and their families.

In 1995, Harry founded and produced the American Veteran Awards: America's preeminent tribute uniting arts and entertainment with the patriotic fabric of our nation. The show was broadcast nationally on The History Channel to critical raves and the network's highest special event ratings. The American Veteran Awards was recognized with the highest civilian awards from our government and military and served as a valuable and ongoing mechanism to unite Hollywood with our soldiers and public officials.

This allowed Harry to continue and expand his good work, by placing over 3,000 unemployed veterans in real estate and entertainment industry jobs nationwide.

Another singular highlight, leveraging the American Veteran Awards' high profile came when Harry organized the first ever unveiling of the Traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Palisades Park in Santa Monica emceed by Johnny Grant, at the Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills emceed by Larry King, and at the Beverly Hills High School, which was the first time this traveling memorial had been on display at an educational venue.
