Gary Reflects on His Service to America's Heroes, Receives USS Midway American Patriot Award

On behalf of our very own Gary Sinise and everyone at the Gary Sinise Foundation, we were truly honored to receive the prestigious Midway America Patriot Award for Gary's life’s work of tirelessly serving our nation’s veterans and first responder communities. San Diego, and specifically the USS Midway, hold a special place in Gary’s heart. He and the Lt. Dan Band have played several concerts on deck, and we even launched the Gary Sinise Foundation San Diego Chapter on the famous battleship in 2021. The USS Midway team did a fantastic job hosting the special night celebrating Gary and his mission to serve our nation's heroes. Thank you, USS Midway Museum & Foundation; we are grateful for our long-standing alliance and look forward to a bright future serving the communities across San Diego. Watch this amazing video tribute from USS Midway Museum as Gary reflects on his journey in service to America's heroes and receiving the USS Midway American Patriot Award.

    People don't wanna feel good. They just wanna hate. Thanks trump and your trumpets. What a legacy. The ideals of an entire country compromised by a reality tv show. Do you think that all of the stuff that leads up to the line Your Fired is real life? I guess so. Look at where it's gotten you. Do you think that the troops gathered from all over the country to fight WW2 would have come together to win would have done so under trump style leadership and morals? Those that did gave you the luxury to indulge in this perversion. What would your Grandpa say??? I bet that he would back John McCain HANDS DOWN!!!!

I grew up as a Military dependent as my DAD was a 30 year Officer in The USAF with 17 of those years as a Pilot. I know all about Sacrifice and seeing a Parent go off to Serve our Country! Gary serves those who have kept America Free and I'm eternally grateful for his service to The Veterans and I'm grateful to those who Donate To The Gary Sinise Foundation! God Bless All

He would barely smile/laugh until one day I did the ole “hi Lt Dan” wave that Tom Hanks does in Forest Gump (one of his favorite movies). Now on top of providing my son with much needed laughter, the GSF is helping us with home modifications. God Bless GSF
