Dolph Lundgren is honored to walk alongside U.S. Army veteran Colin Wayne in the Redline Steel CEO’s initiative to raise money for families who have lost loved ones at war this Memorial Day.
The “Rocky IV” star, 64, told Fox News Digital that he jumped at the opportunity to team up with Wayne in his partnership with the nonprofit USA Cares, after Wayne – who served three tours in Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt – made huge strides in his previous two fundraising outings with actress Megan Fox.
“I was approached [by Colin Wayne and Redline Steel] to join the give-back and immediately decided to do it. To be able to help veterans and their families is important to me,” Lundgren said of coming on board for the third annual Operation Memorial Giveback. “They make the greatest sacrifice to help keep us all and the world around us safe. And I appreciate the work Megan has done over the years, and it was a pleasure to star alongside her in ‘Expendables 4.’
Fox has been a willing participant in Redline Steel’s initiative the first two years and Wayne said he couldn’t be more impressed with the actress’ humility over that time given her celebrity status.

“The one thing that really stood out for me was just how humble and ‘down to earth’ she is away from the camera,” he explained of his time working alongside Fox. “Her warm embrace and willingness to join our cause speaks volumes of who she is as a person.”
Over the past couple years, Wayne and his company have raised over $5 million in products and now, with Lundgren firmly watching his six, Wayne said his team is looking to take their efforts to even greater heights.
“Between his military background serving in the Swedish Marine Corps, to his passion for helping others, and the immense love for his family, I instantly knew how important it was to partner with Dolph,” Wayne raved of the “Minions: The Rise of Gru” voice actor. “His exemplary character and honorable actions over the years made partnering with him an easy choice.”
Lundgren said his many roles as an operative aided in his support for our nation’s military.
