Willis toasted the brave men and women of the U.S. armed forces and joined them in drinking a shot of vodka as he paid tribute to all of the soldiers serving their country across the world.

He said, "What I do for a living is pretend. It was pretend to be heroic, pretend to be honorable or patriotic or any of those things. I seldom try to compare myself to anybody who actually ... has to put their life on the line for what they believe in."

"To all the armed forces who can't be here tonight serving around the world, men and women who have served and are still serving, we love you. To the real heroes."
