Gary Sinise, Gary Sinise Foundation, Memorial Day Special & Remembering Mac Sinise.

Gary Sinise’s stage, film, and television career has spanned more than four decades. In 1974, at 18 years old, he co-founded Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Twenty years later, for his performance as Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump, he received nominations for Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and Academy Awards, and earned the Best Supporting Actor Award from the National Board of Review and the Commander's Award from the Disabled American Veterans. Other film credits include Apollo 13, Ransom, Snake Eyes, Impostor, The Green Mile, Mission to Mars, and The Human Stain.

For over 40 years, Gary has stood as an advocate on behalf of America’s service members. It began in the early ‘80s, supporting local Vietnam veterans groups in the Chicago area, and into the ‘90s, when his portrayal of Lt. Dan formed an enduring connection with service members throughout the military community as he worked on behalf of the Disabled American Veterans organization, which he continues to actively support today.

In 2011, to expand upon his efforts, he established the Gary Sinise Foundation with a mission to serve and honor America’s defenders, veterans, first responders, Gold Star families, and those in need. The foundation remains committed to finding new and exciting ways to give back to those who sacrifice for our nation, and encourages others to do the same.
