I think Sinise is going to be the Grand Marshal of a Memorial Day parade in Washington next weekend.

Good for him and many thanks for all he does!

I’ve never heard him talk in any specifics about his politics...but I will give him props for his open support of our men & women of the military. He is doing good things there.

And that is exactly the point. It’s not about politics. It’s about doing what is right for these men and women.

I believe he has said that he is apolitical.

>>>I believe he has said that he is apolitical.

Or at the very least he keeps his politics to himself, which I wish more Hollyweird types would do.

I get nervous when people see what he is doing, and think he’s automatically conservative/Republican when the truth of his politics is really an unknown.

I think he was on Leno one night and expressed his deep respect for the troops AND what they're doing...fighting the bad guys.

Obviously the Dems think we're fighting the good guys.

I heard him interviewed by Dennis Miller a while back. I got the impression that not only does he support the troops but at least to some degree the President as well. Maybe close to Miller’s views. Seemed that way, anyhow.

He attended the first Freedom Concert. He doesn’t mention his politics, but when it comes to the military he does not mince words. He is pro military all the way.
