He formed the Lt. Dan Band, performing over 570 shows for troops and their families. He built homes for wounded warriors. He comforted Gold Star families. And every holiday season, he brought hundreds of them to Disney World, offering joy where grief once lived.

Gary Sinise once portrayed a man who lost everything. In real life, he has helped thousands who lost much, including some who lost their very lives, in service to our country, find hope, healing, and a home. Thank you for your service, Gary Sinise!
Gary Sinise didn’t just play a hero. He became one. And Lt. Dan is still marching—because the mission never ends.
