Patricia Heaton, Tom Hanks and many others laud the 'Forrest Gump' star and help celebrate his new memoir
A host of stars recorded touching tributes to actor Gary Sinise for dedicating his career to helping veterans and their families in a heartwarming video.
The Forrest Gump star set up the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2011, which raises more than $30 million annually for programs including building specially adapted homes for disabled and injured army veterans and trips for army families.
Now, 25 years since he played wounded veteran Lieutenant Dan in the iconic movie, Sinise's colleagues, fellow actors and veterans who benefited from his work over the years participated in a surprise video tribute for him.
During the nineties, Sinise worked on behalf of the Disabled American Veterans organizations. He also embarked on several USO handshake tours in 2003 and then formed the Lieutenant Dan Band in 2004.

Oh surrrrre we ALL support our military!
fargin hypocrites
“Lieutenant Dan” deserves an upgrade from the lesser Presidential Citizens Medal he received from Odumbo to a Presidential Medal of Freedom (with Distinction). It also would be appropriate for Congress to authorize a Congressional Gold Medal for him. No one, and I mean no one, has done more for the morale of our Armed Forces and veterans over the past 30+ years than Gary Sinise. He began supporting military causes even well before his appearance in Forrest Gump.
He is a good guy. Patricia Heaton wanted him as the man of the year. Guy deserves all accolades.
DC Chapter ping!
You steel Lt. DAN... (my best Forrest Grump imitation)
He is a far better man than me because I would not accept anything from the false illegal president nor allow that gay weirdo married to a transvestite to touch me. I still believe anything he signed should be negated and all Secret Service people having to protect the ugly truth be given bonuses to compensate for all the Pepto Bismal.
