Gary Sinise, the main hero of the CSI New York series, has been all over the world to US armed services bases to visit and perform in his band the Lieutenant Dan Band ( Lt Dan Band). His band is made up of 14 musicians and 3 support staff all voluntary but professional musicians. They have travelled all over the world including once to Afgahnistan and 7 times to Iraq for nearly ten years to support the troops. Sinise underwrites the cost many times and when he is not shooting his episodes of CSI New York he is on the road supporting the troops expressing his thanks on behalf of all those who appreciate our troops’ service to our country.

He has said many times that even when he is shooting his series he gets requests to perform for the troops and will jump in an airplane on a Friday night pull an all nighter to perform on a Saturday and then make it back to the movie set location on Monday.

Sinise has a web site called the LTDanBand.com and this Fourth of July he is releasing the LTBandBand movie which is a concert of his performances to the troops. Watch this trailer. It is awesome. We have listened to part of his concerts and the music is absolutely awesome.

For 3.99 you can sign up to watch the LT Dan Band movie on the web this July 4th.

It is really nice to know that Hollywood is not rotten to the core. I had no idea that Sinise had contributed so much to the troops in the last 10 years. Brings a tear to your eye. Support the troops!

I saw that the band was scheduled to perform at JBLM, but I didn’t know if it was THE Lt. Dan Band. Now I know!
