Gary Sinise, famed for portraying Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, actively aids veterans through his Gary Sinise Foundation, profoundly impacting their lives.
Recognized with numerous awards, Sinise received the highest honor in 2020: the Congressional Medal of Honor Society Patriot Award, presented by Joe Mantegna.

Mantegna praised Sinise during the ceremony, stating, “Not all heroes are made on the battlefield,” highlighting his dedication to country, family, and friends.
Sinise’s relentless support for veterans has left an indelible mark, earning him immense gratitude and admiration.
While the Patriot Award is significant, it fails to fully convey our appreciation for Sinise’s exceptional dedication to our nation’s heroes.
To Gary Sinise, we extend heartfelt gratitude for his unwavering support of veterans—a true hero in every aspect.
