A Strong Advocate for America’s Service Members
Gary Sinise is a renowned actor who has made a significant impact in the entertainment industry.
He has been a strong advocate for America’s service members for almost four decades. He started by supporting local Vietnam veterans groups in Chicago in the early 1980s. In the 1990s, his portrayal of Lt. Dan created a lasting bond with service members in the military community. He also worked tirelessly for the Disabled American Veterans organization, which he continues to actively support today.
September 11
Since the September 11 attacks, Gary’s dedication to our nation’s active duty defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families has become an unwavering mission of support, service, and gratitude for those who protect our freedom and serve our country.
“While we can never do enough for our defenders and their loved ones, we can always do a little more.” – Gary Sinise
