(CBS4 News) WASHINGTON CSI star Gary Sinise was at the White House Monday but he wasn’t solving crimes, he was supporting American troops.
The actor was in our nation’s capitol to help President Bush spread the word about ‘America Supports You’, a Defense Department outreach program created to recognize citizens who support the military.
Sinise, who co-founded the Iraqi Children Fund; an ‘America Supports You’ organization that sends school supplies to students in Iraq, encouraged citizens to log on to the organization’s website to learn more about how they can help military men and woman and their families.

ARLINGTON, Va., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Custom bike builder Billy Lane will depart on his first USO tour to Germany June 30. During the six-day tour, Lane will spend time with service members and their families at Vogelweh Military Complex as well as participate in July 4th celebrations at Spangdahlem Air Force Base, Baumholder Army Base and Ramstein Air Base. This tour is co-sponsored by Armed Forces Entertainment.
Lane has a long-standing respect for the armed forces.

In addition, he has written two books, "Chop Fiction" and "How to Build Old School Choppers and Bobbers."
Kudos to Billy!
Yes, and to Gary and any other celebs who get it. :)
Jesse James went to Iraq too. The show was on a couple of weeks ago - it was pretty good.
Lesson learned, fill up torque converter before installing.
Lieutenant Dan! Lieutenant Dan!
That is really nice. He has really done much for the troops. Nice to see him with the President.
Gary Sinise - Doing work that other actors won't do.
Wolfstar, thank you so much for posting this. I saw the president for a few minutes this morning before I left the house and was so pleased he met with Americans who are supporting our beloved military. I had wondered if Gary Senise was there; I really respect what Senise is doing and am glad to see he got to meet personally with the president.
"Lieutenant Dan, I got you some ice cream. Lieutenant Dan, ice cream!"
Sorry, couldn't resist!
You're welcome, Peach. :)
Great post, Wolfstar! BTTT!!!
Thanks for posting. I have promised to pay more attention to what Gary Sinise is doing for our troops, as I was clueless. Excellent!
You're welcome. There are some celebrities who are doing their part, but not many.
Yes, he's terrific and it is nice to see him with GWB.
LOL!

(Said the perpetually dejected Mets fan.)
LOL Could be worse. I'm a Royals fan.
