J.R. Martinez Celebrates 'CNN Heroes'

By Michael Lopez

If you think about it, who would be better to hand out an inspirational award than J.R. Martinez? The Iraq war veteran touched millions with his moves on Dancing With The Stars and proved to be a fantastic presenter at this weekend's CNN Heroes event.

Looking very dapper in his grey and black suit, J.R. stood alongside notables like Anderson Cooper, Chris Colfer, and Piers Morgan for the Saturday ceremony. The event helped honor everyday people who are doing extraordinary things in their daily lives.

Tr3s fave Sofia Vergara also made a memorable appearance and even posted a glammed up picture from her Twitter account.

Of course, the real attention was focused on the honorees. Several Latinos were recognized this year for their Heroic efforts, including Elena Durón Miranda (who works with poverty-stricken children in Argentina) and Eddie Canales (who helps injured teenagers on the football field).

But the big Hero of the night was Robin Lim. Also known as "Mother Robin",  she offers free prenatal care and medical aid to underprivileged Indonesian women. Lim's work scored her 2011's Hero of the Year award as well as $250,000 to continue her efforts.

Is there anyone in your community who you would call a Hero? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
