Wild Thing’s comment………..
Gary is a friend of mine. I met him years ago when we lived in Malibu, Calif. and working in films. He is a truly wonderful man and sincere in what he does. He truly supports the troops. He has traveled to Iraq and all over the world to entertain and meet the troops and thank them in person. I lost count how many times he has been to Iraq, but it has been many times.
I am honored to know him and grateful for all he does for our troops to let them know how thankful we all are to them for all they do for us and for America and for the world.
GOD bless you both! I met Frau Vader at SPangdahlem Air Base in West Germany in the Reagan administration. If ya need Spatlese, Zinfadel, Auslese, Apfel Corn or Gluwein – e:mail me and I’ll send ya some from the Death Star II Class VI … Happy Memorial Day times 230-years of liberty and freedom. – SPangdahlem Sheiks (TE #84) 1980-1981 & F-4 Phantom Power!
Gary Sinise Supports the Troops
I’ve always liked Gary Sinise. Like everyone else, I loved him at ‘Lt. Dan’ in Forrest Gump. I also loved him at ‘East Texas’ in The Stand. But lately the role I’ve particularly liked him in is his role as a celebri…
Gary Sinese is effin HOT!!!! I love him!
Speaking of Memorial Day, Darth mentioned this is the 231st Birthday of the country… Ahh is it a coincidence that the Marine Corps is 232 years old, the founding fathers had an idea of a Great Nation but first they needed someone to defend this new and great land, hence, the Marines came first.
Semper Fi and happy Memorial day, ya’ll
kudos to Sinese for supporting out troops.
We need more of Hollywood bigwigs doing this!
Gary is what we all should be!
Much more of Sinese and much less of Ro.

These are the men and women who donate their time to serve their country and its military. By going into war zones, these people risk even more than the troops as they aren’t trained to survive in combat situations but they’re willing to take the risk. These entertainers deserve our utmost respect and thanks.
Darth, haha thanks! And Happy Memorial Day to you too.
Hi c.a. Marks, good to see you. Thanks for commenting. He is a great guy.
Mark that is sooooo cool. I just love it. God bless our Marines!! OOHRAH!
Mark Krauss love your kudos.
Lynn, I agree, I wish more from Hollywood would do this. They could if they wanted to, that’s for sure.
razOr, Amen!
Bob, thank you for the link and your comment too.
Thanks for this up-date! Maybe Gary really IS Truman! 😉 He truly is a blessing and wonderful change from the world of donkeywood!
