These smart homes that we're building are specifically designed to fit the needs of these wounded warriors. ... So we're going to build J.B. one of these homes, and obviously we have to have the money to do that. My part of the partnership here is raising awareness and funds, and I do that partially through a concert in the town or city that the wounded warrior is from and wants to live in. So we'll be coming to Martinsville the night before the race and doing a concert at the high school, which was one of the biggest places we could find, to honor J.B. for what he's given the country and to try to raise a substantial amount of money to help build him this special home.

The Lt. Dan Band will play a concert at Martinsville High School on March 31 as part of a fund-raiser for the construction of a specially-equipped smart house for Cpl. J.B. Kerns, who lost both legs and an arm in an explosion in Afghanistan a year ago.

Tip of the hat to Gary Sinise. Hollywood could use more like you sir.

I love that Gary Sinise, as soon as he became a big star with “Forrest Gump” - immediately used that stardom to give back - and hasn’t stopped in 15+ years.

Gary Sinise is also a damn good actor. His counterpart on CSI: Miami, David Caruso is a good guy also.

Hats off to “Lt. Dan!”
He’s been doing great things for the troops for years.

What's so great about this guy is, he doesn't act like your typical Hollyweird type - he just rolls up his sleeves and puts it right back into a part of the community that his contemporaries consider to be politically incorrect. They could learn a great deal about humility and sense of honor from Gary Sinise.
