"God bless you, buddy." What a great comment. Gary Sinise is a national treasure. God bless our military heroes who are willing to die for the 99% every day of their career lives and beyond.
Your military "heroes" are just paid murderers. There are no wars right now so they could be heroes. Your military is going in different countries to invade....not to save people... Because we in Europe, especially at the Balkans we are seeing all the emigrants...and most of them saying "FCKING Americans ruined our homes"

With or without the medal, if we had 2 Gary Sinise around supporting vets in rehabilitation, they can do much more than our politicians have ever achieved. He already won his medal and the gates to heaven in my heart.
@@anthonylagunas6737, and what does that have to do with the damage she did? She was a traitor, and deserved to be tried, convicted, and executed for her crimes.
@@bartgoins1782, traitor? There was no declaration of war, and Robert McNamara, before he died, admitted the whole Vietnam thing was an experiment in political science. Surprising to absolutely nobody was that the Domino Theory, about how all of Asia would turn communist if Vietnam fell, was complete bullshit. If this country got screwed by anybody it was by Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.
There are a few left out there in Follywood, Kurt Russell, Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, Ted Nugent. But you’re correct though, damn few left to respect out there.
Someday is someday. Today is today. Start the moment you wake up till the time you fall asleep. Nice people and good people don't act, they just do. The fact that you're thinking to be like him is a huge step in the realization that you already are. Keep well and keep going.
2:05 “We’re the 99% that don’t serve! And they’re the 1% that do!” Thank you Gary Sinise Foundation and all that you do for our troops at home and abroad.
As a Vietnam veteran. I want to say that Gary Sinise is a great man. He is a fantastic moral booster and he really cares deeply about our servicemen and women. He is like Bob Hope was in that venture. Gary is the most recognized military supporter that comes to our bases these days. And the Lt Dan band actually sounds pretty good! Thank You Gary Sinise for all that you do for service personnel and veterans.
Not criticizing what you said about Sinise or taking anything away from him, but there is another rocker who takes pride in performing for our troops, and without much fanfare. Her name is Joan Jett. Kudos to all celebrities who can put aside politics and perform for those serving so far away from home in dangerous parts of the world.
Offgrid Cabin Thank you for your service and sacrifice. All of you that served in Vietnam can't be thanked or appreciated enough. My Dad is a Vietnam Veteran too, 24th Infantry Div. Thank you again Sir, you are never forgotten!
You can throw in Five Finger Death Punch to that list. I got to do a meet and greet with them last year and they put on a great show for a lot of sailors. Seems they know the Navy is a part of our armed services also. As a former sailor myself it was a pleasure to have met them. Just wish they had been around back when I was in. 1985-89 USS Constellation CV-63. We use to have a lot of big name acts put on concerts for us back then in San Diego. I can't say I have ever even seen a photo of Gary Sinise with a sailor. Doesn't mean there isn't one out there just that I haven't seen one. Maybe oneday people will realize the Navy is more than just the SEAL Teams.
Having served 2-1/2 tours in Vietnam and 14 weeks in a VA Hospital, Gary is the example we wish we would have gotten at that time for our for service. Thanks, Gary. “HOOYA!”
I have immense respect for Gary. After his role as Lt. Dan, Gary developed a deep respect for veterans. As an Air Force veteran, I would love to meet Gary, and thank him for all he does to help veterans.
I was fortunate that he came to DC to do a show when I was stationed at Belvoir(Army veteran) and I got to meet him. I had to break off the conversation. He would have kept talking to us forever(I told him about recovering from my combat injuries to go on and conceive natural triplets and then had to be back in shape SUPER fast. I was having a really hard time due to the spinal fusion ans other problems dropping weight after the triplets . He just wanted to comfort me. I've met many celebrities (From Dayto a beach and MTV, BET, and other things always brought celebrities, then later meet and greets. Only one other celeb just sat and had a tête à téte with me. He was great. I hope you catch him at one if the vet shows he does.
He had a great respect before he had that part and it was a dream role for him. He always looked up to and was proud of his military family from WW1 and WW2.
also gotta have respect for Robin Williams and what he did for the troops as well. going over to bases in Afghanistan and performing comedy routines for all of them, and even making sure to say hi to the troops who couldnt come to the show because of being on guard duty.
The thing is many many celebrities give their time and money to a variety of important causes and yet certain groups of people love to characterize them as out of touch. I can't think of one charity or group that Trump has given to . ..ever.
@@miarrem A lot of celebrities ARE out of touch. Not every "cause" is worthy of much respect. People will make their own judgments about which celebrities they respect and why. I have great respect for Gary Sinise, and Robin Williams for his support of the troops also.
@@miarrem Sort of like how "certain groups of people" insist on inserting Trump into comments that have absolutely nothing to do with him. As they say, he's living rent free in weak people's minds. The TDS is real. I know "certain groups of people" don't like to do research into things that will ruin their lies or put the screws into their false narratives, so here, I compiled a list of organizations he's contributed to. United Way of MY city-$250,000 Operation Smile-$117,000 Dana Garber Cancer Inst.-$60,000 Police Athletic League of NY-$60,000 And the list goes on and on over many years if you care to look it up.

This gentleman is one of the few that uses his “ fame” for a good cause and he does it all behind the scenes, you don’t really see him in the news for all the work that he does. I can’t express it in words… I wish I could meet him one day.
yea the media isnt interested unless some hollywood tart is crying and spitting at our soldiers. this man deserves an award and real recognition for what he does for our young men and women in uniform.
me 3! He's such a GREAT actor!! he was fabulous in Apollo 13! but what he does for veterans he's BEYOND GREAT AT!!! He's truly a genuine beautiful human being!❤❤❤
Mr Sinise is such a GOOD guy. He is one of the few celebrities I have the utmost respect for. He is well grounded, smart, humble, and loving. He is an example of how every American should be. We should NEVER stop supporting our troops and first responders who were injured and/or honorably retired.
He's been working for the troops for years. He's raised money to give disabled veterans handicap-accessible houses and I think he helps get them service dogs and all sort of other things they need. He said everywhere he goes, troops recognize him, but a lot don't know his real name and apologize that they only know him as "Lt. Dan," but he says that's fine, they can call him that. Most actors hate being type-cast, but he embraces it because it's become a calling for him.
I have read Gary's book "Grateful American". He truly is a grateful American, not just by his words, but being a doer. A great actor, but an even better man. Unselfish, thoughtful, humble and strong. Gary, this veteran is grateful for you and all you do for active duty military, military veterans, law enforcement, firefighters and first responders. God bless you sir. You do the Lord's work.
Michael H.: This unapologetic American is grateful to you and all that you have done for our great nation. Take care, my friend, and God bless you and yours.
What am I gonna say about Gary Sinise that hasn’t been said here already? As a veteran, I feel that his is among the most authentic gratitude ever expressed to our troops I have been exposed to.
I can personally attest to his kindness. One of my friends is a gold star widow. The kindness he has shown to that family is immeasurable. He keeps in touch with all of the kids. When the son entered my alma mater, Texas A&M, he sent a card wishing him well. This is after years of sending the kids of gold star families to Disney World every year. God bless him.
He’s just amazing. He’s not doing any big movement and advertising himself at all he’s just going tup to each veteran personally and helping them and their family through their pain as long as he can
@@timunknown6724 Started during WW1, families with serving military members displayed a blue star. If that member died in battle, the blue star was replaced by a gold star. This was displayed as a banner in the window and with lapel pins.
Their whole organization is amazing, i used to run a vet non profit and asked for their help. Even though they couldnt partner with me they said to keep them updated on the progress and were very helpful.
I remember being in Iraq and him being one of the first celebrities to come out and visit the troops. I just remember thinking how considerate it was that a celebrity took time out to come to such a dangerous horrible place and visit us.
George Batton Thank you for your service and I am grateful that you defended my American rights. Happy that his visit reminded you that you are appreciated.
Gary Sinise, damn good actor but an awesome human being and man that sets such a positive example for the US population. Nothing but uplifting and positive by his actions, words and how he speaks about what he does. God Bless 'em!!
Man had me tearing up at the end. God bless our men and women in the military 🇺🇸 they don't get the recognition they deserve these days. I respect you all for fighting for our freedom. God bless!
This is a man that, through action--not self-promotion, not branding, not photo-ops or exposes--he has positively affected the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands of wounded warriors. So much respect for his sympathy and compassion. That's a warrior-poet spirit and it shines bright. Thanks Mr. Sinise, you too are a hero.
Gary, thank you so much , we appreciate your passion, I know you have shed so tears, God has given you a great gift, you have given it away with your passion

You're a fucking idiot. Who do you see but Gary Sinese. A fucking Hollywood Zionist. Americans dying for the state of Israel and sure he supports our people dying for his.
Look at Gary's reaction at the end. So genuine. I wish all those with authority and responsibility could see the value in our veterans - and in their sacrifices.
His reaction when the Col walks in, shows that none of this is for recognition but that he does truly care about what he's doing. Gary is a great actor but an even better person, we could all learn a thing or two from him.
For a guy that fell into this role he's taken on, he's done more than a great service. His representation and support of Veterans and their families in times of need are unsurpassed. This is what Hollywood can do for the right cause. BZ and God bless you and the people you reach out for, Gary.
Thing is he was already into that stuff but it took him above and beyond. He was actively looking for such a role. He always supported veterans, having listened to the stories of a brother in law and other family members.
As a VA ICU nurse for decades, this man is the real deal. I have so much respect for him and the work he does. I worked with so many resilient veterans, but I also cared for so many of the broken ones who served during WWI to the present time. There is no greatest generation. Each generation produces those needed at the time. Valor & sacrifice, and resilience is demonstrated by all. The only difference is how we Americans value those who served. All are the greatest.
Panzer Raven I also Thank You for your service as well. Once a Marine always a Marine I'm not on Active Any longer. But I'm always a Gunnery Sergeant E7
I seen the "LT Dan Band" perform at an Army Base in Kuwait a few years back. This is truly a Patriotic man who loves his country and respects members of the military. Thank you Gary Sinese for all you do and what you stand for...🙏
Every celebrity should take a lesson from Gary Sinise . Time and time again he is there for the soldiers ,whether it's a documentary or a concert this man is driven to help . What a great guy who loves this country and the guys who protect it . YOUR A CLASS ACT GARY SINISE . Thank you for using your celebrity for others .
Too bad there aren't many more sweet stories such as this one on here. "LT Dan" was only a character in a movie but I think the guy who played his is doing a wonderful job for our troops! Good job, Gary. Keep it up!
I remember Col. Forney's story, and it still blows me away to see a man talking in an interview who is missing a substantial part of his head. It says a lot about the resilience of life, but more about his determination and grit. I'd like to think that I'd be able to do the same in that situation and not just give up, but I doubt it.
Salute to you Gary Sinise from a crusty USAF Veteran! Great to see all the work you do for my brothers and sisters in arms! Greatly appreciated and much respected!
Lt. Dan found peace... he found his place and purpose in life. I wish and hope that we all do the same. THANK YOU Mr. Sinise for your efforts and recognition of our troops, our heroes, the 1% who work hard for our freedom. God Bless you sir!
What Gary Sinise does with the Lt. Dan Band is awesome, he is such a true Patriot and supporter of our troops. But the way his face lit up when the Lt. Col. walked in the room made my eyes leak!! He is such a gentleman and a class act!! As the daughter, wife and daughter-in-law and aunt of veterans and a currently serving nephew, I can’t thank him enough for what he does!! God Bless Him! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love Gary Senise! What a selfless, giving, kind, generous man, and it all genuinely comes straight from his ❤️ Thank you Gary for all that you do for our military men and women. You have given and impacted their lives so positively in every way possible more then you’ll ever know. You’re a true humanitarian. God bless you!
I grew up in the '60s so I am a little bias. But for me, "Forrest Gump" is the greatest movie ever. Because it not only displayed the absolute INSANITY, but also the intense LOVE, the bitter DIFFERENCES, and also the final VICTORY of the best folks of that era. An absolutely AMAZING movie....
Also, probably the most quotable movie ever made. We had ice cream at work the other day because it was hot and we have a co-worker who is "Violently Generous" in order to let everybody else know there was ice cream in the frig the announcement was made over the PA "LT. Dan there is ice cream" "LT. Dan Ice cream" . So yea! Great movie.
Brought. Tear to my eyes, Mr Sinise, thank you from an Ex Soldier, for everything you do. It was brilliant to Lt Col walking unaided. God bless each & everyone of you, for everything we have today. For all the Fallen, May you all RIP wherever you maybe.
Gary Sminis, you are a hero e ven if you don't think so, you give of your most precious assest. You give your time & help to the most de serving people, our Servicemen. I admire you & the people you work besides all the money you give to help our patriots. God bless you!
LOL...it's just the opposite. More and more scientific discoveries have strengthened the case for God. Yes, it's 2016 and it's atheists who are being delusional.
To watch this man walk again brings tears to my eyes. I challenge our politicians to put their ass on the line like these guys do. It would present a moment of pause to engage our troops in any conflict.
Gary is an inspiration n role model for us all!!. His love n respect for the military n America 🇺🇸 far surpasses most people in this country!! Ty Gary!!👍👍❤❤
What a wonderful person Gary Sinese is! There’s so much bad stuff happening on the news and to see a heart warming story like this puts a little more faith in human kind.
I can't believe that there are 21 dislikes for this video. We need more people like Gary Sinise who are willing to help out our veterans and our perform for our Active duty military.
Roy Giller Remember buddy, RUclips is international. A lot of disturbed folks and youngens out here. God Bless America home of the free.... thanks to our brave young men and woman and all the sacrifices they endure. Walt - Chicago
Let me say this first, i did not dislike or like this video. Now what disturbed folks and sacrifices they endure are you talking about?? I'm serious here, are you people living in denial all these years or whats going on here? these young men and women soldiers are loosing their lives breaking families apart because of a big lie our government and our allies admitted to it, NO WMDS were found and Iraq was not involved in 911 a war that killed a million innocent women and children Iraqis which in result created terrorism like ISIS. If you want to make a difference arrest Bush, Cheney their administration, and their criminal international allies and bring them to justice, and bring our soldiers back home, instead of living in denial patting on each others back while the criminals who are killing your children laughing and roaming free.
sam k Many truths within your words. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have and still operate "military consultant's", ie Blackwater, in the regions. Most Americans have been financially, destroyed, many homeless here, in the U.S., because of the greed in our past and present government and big business. This morning, Sunday, Obama is taking credit for ending "the war" in Syria. Again, yet another deception towards Americans and the world. It is unbelievable how these criminals abuse the world. Humans are not a commodity yet that is how the "Global System" uses it. The human explotatio must end in all countries... seems like a pipe dream. 😔
Veteran here. No one wants to believe they were wounded, killed or lost a loved one for a lie. But that's what it is we do it for the corporations. You are correct in what you say
sam k Well well Muslims fighting each other but when someone as the United States who is rolling in they are united with each other. The weapons of mass destruction in my opinion were moved. Just think about that. Obama gave Iran the capability of making these weapons and Bill Clinton gave North Korea the same thing both Democrats
Thank you Mr. Sinise for all you do. You could see the genuine love in your heart for Marine Lt. Col. Bryan Forney. God bless and you are correct so many of us forget or choose to, that we still have service men/women fighting for our freedom. May we never forget!
I love the fact that Gary Sinese uses his celebrity for such a good cause . I come.from a military family parents served in ww2 older brother husband and peers served in Vietnam Nam all Marines all now deceased so this is particularly touching for me so many of our troops didn't come home but this man did and his bravery is incredible in the face of all his physical trials great great video you need to watch the tribute that Gary Sinese and other celebrities take part in every year in Washington D.C. It is very poignant and heart wrenching personal stories are told my brother would bring his buddies home from MCRD when he was in boot camp one particular young man wouldn't make it home you can find his story on Together We Served Larry Nerhing i urge you to look at it a wonderful tribute to him and every veteran who has served our country in every capacity
Gary Sinise offers four letter words like hope and love when vets are hurt and down. Oscar Wilde said “ all of mankind is in the gutter but some of us are looking up at the stars.” Gary helps vets to look up at the stars. God bless him.

I had no idea he did so much for the troops. God bless Lt. Dan.
RyGuy Yep. He and his foundation also helps build homes, or remodels homes for Veterans and wounded Veterans. He does so much.
Of course you didnt, he wont tell anyone.
@@justaguy4788 Agreed. Steve Buscemi is another unsung hero. It's those that virtue signal the loudest that we should be wary of.
Gary Sinese is a gift to humanity. The stories of him helping, doing, and being kind are endless, iconic, and legend.
God Bless people like Mr. G. Sinuses may He hold a special place for these people who give more of themselves then thought possible
I can personally attest to his kindness. One of my friends is a gold star widow. The kindness he has shown to that family is immeasurable. He keeps in touch with all of the kids. When the son entered my alma mater, Texas A&M, he sent a card wishing him well. This is after years of sending the kids of gold star families to Disney World every year. God bless him.
He’s just amazing. He’s not doing any big movement and advertising himself at all he’s just going tup to each veteran personally and helping them and their family through their pain as long as he can
What is a gold star family?
@@timunknown6724 Started during WW1, families with serving military members displayed a blue star. If that member died in battle, the blue star was replaced by a gold star. This was displayed as a banner in the window and with lapel pins.
Their whole organization is amazing, i used to run a vet non profit and asked for their help. Even though they couldnt partner with me they said to keep them updated on the progress and were very helpful.
Thank you Gary, we are a family of Veterans...my son, 3rd generation. We're proud to serve!
Absolutely beautiful,Gary sinise is a national treasure.
I remember being in Iraq and him being one of the first celebrities to come out and visit the troops. I just remember thinking how considerate it was that a celebrity took time out to come to such a dangerous horrible place and visit us.
George Batton Such a great story. God bless our troops and God bless America! I would like to thank you for your service Mr. Barton. Thank you Sir!
George Batton Thank you for your service and I am grateful that you defended my American rights. Happy that his visit reminded you that you are appreciated.
George Batton I am going to jump on the thank you and God bless you for your service band wagon here! You are a hero.
I mustve missed the fun day with celebrities... probably out kicking doors in or some pussy shit like that
God Bless MWR
This brings tears to my eyes, God bless you Gary, you're the Bob Hope of our generation. Thank you sir.
God bless you, Mr. Sinise. As a 20 year Navy veteran, I salute you for your incredible compassion and support....Anchors Aweigh and Semper Fi!
Gary Sinise, damn good actor but an awesome human being and man that sets such a positive example for the US population. Nothing but uplifting and positive by his actions, words and how he speaks about what he does. God Bless 'em!!
AMEN
Perfectly said! 🇺🇸
Man had me tearing up at the end. God bless our men and women in the military 🇺🇸 they don't get the recognition they deserve these days. I respect you all for fighting for our freedom. God bless!
Ditto from the UK.
Has a movie ever changed an actor's life this much? What a blessing to the world Gary Sinise is.
I always liked Gary Sinise. I have so much respect for what he's doing.
Jeffery what's up ? He tries to help vets, I don't understand
Probably one of the most caring and loving human beings on the planet. He's an absolute angel.
This is a man that, through action--not self-promotion, not branding, not photo-ops or exposes--he has positively affected the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands of wounded warriors. So much respect for his sympathy and compassion. That's a warrior-poet spirit and it shines bright. Thanks Mr. Sinise, you too are a hero.
Words cannot adequately describe my appreciation for what Mr. Sinise does.
Gary, thank you so much , we appreciate your passion, I know you have shed so tears, God has given you a great gift, you have given it away with your passion
People should give to the Gary Sinise Foundation. They are really making a difference.

It boggles my mind -- it really does -- that anyone would give this a thumbs-down. Be happy for someone else; be grateful for someone else.
Don't let it bother you, you can't please everybody and some people are simply trash.... you can't see them anymore either.
its democrat commies, anti American commies assholes.
No
@@IAmWhatevaUSayIAm so edgy and cool.
@@Mattormus I'm 40. I don't care much for edgy and cool.
An absolutely wonderful gentleman and a class act. We need many more like Mr. Sinese.
God bless Gary Sinise. He does what so many of us wish in our hearts that we could do for our vets.
Amen. G-d bless you.
Someone must be peeling onions in the house as my eyes are all watery. Great comeback and good job to both of these Americans.
hell yeah...this made my day
I think there's an outbreak of onions.
You're a fucking idiot. Who do you see but Gary Sinese. A fucking Hollywood Zionist. Americans dying for the state of Israel and sure he supports our people dying for his.
george fish calm down george...and show us on this doll where the bad man hurt you
george fish boo hoo whaaaaaaaaaa
Gary you sir are a true American hero .
Look at Gary's reaction at the end. So genuine. I wish all those with authority and responsibility could see the value in our veterans - and in their sacrifices.
Mr Sinise,
Thank you for all your help with the Veterans. And BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VETERANS!
Electron
You are welcome it was my honor and Duty they serve you
His reaction when the Col walks in, shows that none of this is for recognition but that he does truly care about what he's doing. Gary is a great actor but an even better person, we could all learn a thing or two from him.
Mister Sinise is a good man for doing what he continues to do when others have stopped.
Gary has a heart of gold and the inspiration, hope and help he gives these soldiers is a gift that's priceless.
Gary deserves the Medal of Freedom. What a really great human being.
I was fortunate to have been able to shake this mans hand, thanks Gary.
For a guy that fell into this role he's taken on, he's done more than a great service. His representation and support of Veterans and their families in times of need are unsurpassed. This is what Hollywood can do for the right cause. BZ and God bless you and the people you reach out for, Gary.
Thing is he was already into that stuff but it took him above and beyond. He was actively looking for such a role. He always supported veterans, having listened to the stories of a brother in law and other family members.
As a VA ICU nurse for decades, this man is the real deal.
I have so much respect for him and the work he does.
I worked with so many resilient veterans, but I also cared for so many of the broken ones who served during WWI to the present time.
There is no greatest generation.
Each generation produces those needed at the time.
Valor & sacrifice, and resilience is demonstrated by all.
The only difference is how we Americans value those who served.
All are the greatest.
Ok, his character in film made me feel triumphant and his real life person makes me cry. Do I love this guy? You betcha : )
I would like to thank all our men and women that served there country . God Bless you all and thanks LT Dan for doing so much for us all.
Love and Respect from a 1st Sergeant 11Th Dutch air mobile brigade
Thanks for your service from the U.S.
+Panzer Raven Thank YOU, Top, for the love. (We call our first sergeants "Top" in case you didn't know.) You Dutch kickass!
redneckzen
We as Marines call our Master Sergeants E8 and are Master Gunnery Sergeant E9 Top as well
Panzer Raven
I also Thank You for your service as well.
Once a Marine always a Marine
I'm not on Active Any longer.
But I'm always a Gunnery Sergeant E7
I love Gary Sinise. He has done so more for our military and their families. God bless him…. There are no words for all he has done.
Didn’t know how good a man he was. This definitely changed the way I look at him in a good way. Appreciate your support.
He also helps build or renovate homes for veterans to make them more accessible for wheelchairs or walkers
I seen the "LT Dan Band" perform at an Army Base in Kuwait a few years back. This is truly a Patriotic man who loves his country and respects members of the military. Thank you Gary Sinese for all you do and what you stand for...🙏
What kind of evil gives a thumbs down to video like this!
God Bless our servicman , thank you🇺🇸
Westbourne Baptist type of person.
3:16 - Notice how Sinise steps to the side to put Mr. Forney in the spotlight? Awesome stuff, a true American Patriot. Mad respect Gary.
Gary Sinese is a true American who cares for our military men and woman.
In our hearts, he will always be our Lieutenant Dan Taylor.
I'm actually an agnostic, but even I'll give this one an Amen!👍
Gary Sinise. One of the few celebrities I respect as a person and talent.
Ditto that. Gary Sinise is a class act.
Thank you Gary, for caring so much! You are a light of hope for our veteran's.
What a wonderful compassionate and selfless man is Gary Sinise. The world needs a lot more like him.
Every celebrity should take a lesson from Gary Sinise . Time and time again he is there for the soldiers ,whether it's a documentary or a concert this man is driven to help . What a great guy who loves this country and the guys who protect it . YOUR A CLASS ACT GARY SINISE . Thank you for using your celebrity for others .
Too bad there aren't many more sweet stories such as this one on here. "LT Dan" was only a character in a movie but I think the guy who played his is doing a wonderful job for our troops! Good job, Gary. Keep it up!
I concur. 🇨🇦
He was raised right and is an example to us all forever!
Total respect for Gary. What he does without praise or acclaim is beyond words, all to support the troops who give every ounce of life, for the USA 🇺🇸
I remember Col. Forney's story, and it still blows me away to see a man talking in an interview who is missing a substantial part of his head. It says a lot about the resilience of life, but more about his determination and grit. I'd like to think that I'd be able to do the same in that situation and not just give up, but I doubt it.
God bless our soldiers! Gary wasn't lying when he said there is a grateful nation out there that loves you all. WE DO!!! and Thank you!
he is the only celebrity that has my respect! And he'll always be Lt Dan!!!
The smile that came when he saw that man walking towards him is absolutely amazing
He is such a good man,a good American
Salute to you Gary Sinise from a crusty USAF Veteran! Great to see all the work you do for my brothers and sisters in arms! Greatly appreciated and much respected!
Thank you SO MUCH!
Lt. Dan found peace... he found his place and purpose in life. I wish and hope that we all do the same.
THANK YOU Mr. Sinise for your efforts and recognition of our troops, our heroes, the 1% who work hard for our freedom. God Bless you sir!
Well done Gary. My eyes were sweating during this video, strange.
Mine too
same here!! Gary you are a saint!!!
What Gary Sinise does with the Lt. Dan Band is awesome, he is such a true Patriot and supporter of our troops. But the way his face lit up when the Lt. Col. walked in the room made my eyes leak!! He is such a gentleman and a class act!! As the daughter, wife and daughter-in-law and aunt of veterans and a currently serving nephew, I can’t thank him enough for what he does!! God Bless Him! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Both men are worthy of praise. Semper fi
I love Gary Senise! What a selfless, giving, kind, generous man, and it all genuinely comes straight from his ❤️ Thank you Gary for all that you do for our military men and women. You have given and impacted their lives so positively in every way possible more then you’ll ever know. You’re a true humanitarian. God bless you!
What do you expect he's a Marine is in his DNA to be a hero
I grew up in the '60s so I am a little bias. But for me, "Forrest Gump" is the greatest movie ever. Because it not only displayed the absolute INSANITY, but also the intense LOVE, the bitter DIFFERENCES, and also the final VICTORY of the best folks of that era. An absolutely AMAZING movie....
Also, probably the most quotable movie ever made.
We had ice cream at work the other day because it was hot and we have a co-worker who is "Violently Generous" in order to let everybody else know there was ice cream in the frig the announcement was made over the PA
"LT. Dan there is ice cream" "LT. Dan Ice cream" .
So yea! Great movie.
It's a great movie, but I hated seeing Forrest being taken advantage of by Jenny.
I watch it about once a year.
Never get tired of it.
Brought. Tear to my eyes, Mr Sinise, thank you from an Ex Soldier, for everything you do. It was brilliant to Lt Col walking unaided. God bless each & everyone of you, for everything we have today. For all the Fallen, May you all RIP wherever you maybe.
Gary Sinise is so awesome.
Gary Sminis, you are a hero e ven if you don't think so, you give of your most precious assest. You give your time & help to the most de serving people, our Servicemen. I admire you & the people you work besides all the money you give to help our patriots. God bless you!
Sorry about the mispell Mr. Sinise, bit of arthritis problem.
@claudineannschultz9726 your spelling is just fine. Thanku for your thoughtful response.
Dear Jesus, I pray for a man like Gary Sinise.
+Chessqueen agreed.
Amen
Amen
time to come back to earth,its 2016 stop the god delusion
LOL...it's just the opposite. More and more scientific discoveries have strengthened the case for God. Yes, it's 2016 and it's atheists who are being delusional.
Someone’s cutting up onions. My eyes are watering. God bless these legends.
To watch this man walk again brings tears to my eyes. I challenge our
politicians to put their ass on the line like these guys do. It would present a moment of pause to engage our troops in any conflict.
Gary Sinese is an amazing guy! What a sweetheart!
ItsOk ToBeWhite
You are very rude what you should have said I think it is spelled like this Sinise
I like Gary S. He really cares. amazing for a star to do what he does.
Gary is an inspiration n role model for us all!!. His love n respect for the military n America 🇺🇸 far surpasses most people in this country!! Ty Gary!!👍👍❤❤
I wish other celebrities would follow suit. Gary Sinise is a Hollywood rarity.
@@papacoach2074 exactly! Finally an actor that I’d be happy for my kids to look up to! They are few and far between these days.
What a wonderful person Gary Sinese is! There’s so much bad stuff happening on the news and to see a heart warming story like this puts a little more faith in human kind.
i love this guy. truly a class act.
I can't believe that there are 21 dislikes for this video. We need more people like Gary Sinise who are willing to help out our veterans and our perform for our Active duty military.
Roy Giller
Remember buddy, RUclips is international. A lot of disturbed folks and youngens out here.
God Bless America home of the free.... thanks to our brave young men and woman and all the sacrifices they endure.
Walt - Chicago
Let me say this first, i did not dislike or like this video. Now what disturbed folks and sacrifices they endure are you talking about?? I'm serious here, are you people living in denial all these years or whats going on here? these young men and women soldiers are loosing their lives breaking families apart because of a big lie our government and our allies admitted to it, NO WMDS were found and Iraq was not involved in 911 a war that killed a million innocent women and children Iraqis which in result created terrorism like ISIS. If you want to make a difference arrest Bush, Cheney their administration, and their criminal international allies and bring them to justice, and bring our soldiers back home, instead of living in denial patting on each others back while the criminals who are killing your children laughing and roaming free.
sam k
Many truths within your words. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have and still operate "military consultant's", ie Blackwater, in the regions.
Most Americans have been financially, destroyed, many homeless here, in the U.S., because of the greed in our past and present government and big business.
This morning, Sunday, Obama is taking credit for ending "the war" in Syria. Again, yet another deception towards Americans and the world.
It is unbelievable how these criminals abuse the world.
Humans are not a commodity yet that is how the "Global System" uses it.
The human explotatio must end in all countries... seems like a pipe dream. 😔
Veteran here. No one wants to believe they were wounded, killed or lost a loved one for a lie. But that's what it is we do it for the corporations. You are correct in what you say
sam k
Well well Muslims fighting each other but when someone as the United States who is rolling in they are united with each other. The weapons of mass destruction in my opinion were moved. Just think about that.
Obama gave Iran the capability of making these weapons and Bill Clinton gave North Korea the same thing both Democrats
Thank you Mr. Sinise for all you do. You could see the genuine love in your heart for Marine Lt. Col. Bryan Forney. God bless and you are correct so many of us forget or choose to, that we still have service men/women fighting for our freedom. May we never forget!
I can say as a disabled vet that we love this man for all he's done. God bless him.
I love the fact that Gary Sinese uses his celebrity for such a good cause .
I come.from a military family parents served in ww2 older brother husband and peers served in Vietnam Nam all Marines all now deceased so this is particularly touching for me so many of our troops didn't come home but this man did and his bravery is incredible in the face of all his physical trials great great video you need to watch the tribute that Gary Sinese and other celebrities take part in every year in Washington D.C. It is very poignant and heart wrenching personal stories are told my brother would bring his buddies home from MCRD when he was in boot camp one particular young man wouldn't make it home you can find his story on Together We Served Larry Nerhing i urge you to look at it a wonderful tribute to him and every veteran who has served our country in every capacity
Gary Sinise offers four letter words like hope and love when vets are hurt and down. Oscar Wilde said “ all of mankind is in the gutter but some of us are looking up at the stars.” Gary helps vets to look up at the stars. God bless him.
I realize your sentiment is probably genuine but to reference Oscar Wilde a raging homosexual doesn't help
Gary S is a true patriot!!!!
Gary a true American
Yes he is and Lt. Dan was pretty cool too.
Gary has done so much for our troops. A true hero.
This guy is extremely good, in everything ❤❤❤, it's it?@ joanna
