Absolutely even though I don't watch CSI NY.

Gary Sinese always struck me as a decent guy. How Michael Mooron must hate him...

Rumsfeld on a Hollywood set? That must have ruffled the feathers of a good number of people there. I hope Gary Sinise doesn't get blacklisted.

Sinese has been doing terrific work with getting Iraqi kids school supplies, etc.

I agree.

Gary Sinise is a good actor and I'd still say that regardless of his efforts to help our troops.

He should have received an Academy Award for his portrayal of Harry S Truman in the 1995 movie "Truman". His ability to play the part of Truman was absolutely stunning. He looked AND sounded just like Truman.

I liked his role as 'George' in Of Mice and Men.

Laura doesn't get much publicity as Gary for her part, but she and Gary are good people.

Instead of being political they've just gone quietly about trying to help the Iraqi children. The generation that will determine whether the sacrifices of the current people (both allied troops and Iraqi's) will take root.

One of the good guys. I'd say he's the closest this generation has to a Jimmy Stewart or Gary Cooper.

In addition to being one of this country's best actors, Gary Sinise is a classy guy. Apparently Laura is too. WTG!

Rumsfeld, who joked with Sinise about going to rival high schools in Chicago, told the cast about "all the wonderful things this man has done for the men and women in uniform across the country." He thanked Sinise for his personal involvement in supporting the troops and presented him with a commemorative Pentagon paperweight and official secretary of defense coin to add to Sinise's extensive coin collection gathered during troop visits.

Gary Sinise went to Highland Park High School; my sister is a childhood friend of Gary's wife, Moira. Rummy went to New Trier High School. My father-in-law was Rummy's PE teacher and JV wrestling coach. We are all connected!

This represents enormous effort for Laura Hillenbrand. Her brother is a co-worker of my husband and has often told him how severe her chronic-fatigue is. After this event, she was unable to leave the house for days, but she felt strongly about appearing and offering support. She is a great person.
