Since war became a geographically distant but very real way of life after Sept. 11, 2001, no Hollywood star has stepped up to support active duty U.S. military personnel and wounded veterans like Gary Sinise. There is no close second. And quietly, as is in his nature, he is becoming something akin to this generation´s Bob Hope.
One step in conferring this worthy title on the award-winning actor, director and producer occurred last week when President Bush bestowed on him the Presidential Citizens Medal, the second highest civilian honor awarded to citizens for exemplary deeds performed in service of the nation. Previous recipients include Henry "Hank" Aaron, Muhammad Ali, Colin L. Powell and Bob Dole.

In 2004, "Seabiscuit" author Laura Hillenbrand with Mr. Sinise founded Operation Iraqi Children, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping the U.S. military distribute school supplies in the war-stricken country.

A fine man. A fine actor. (Doesn’t hurt that he’s cute, as well!) Glad his service has been fittingly recognized.

Doggone, a bit of dust or smoke must have gotten in my eye when I read that story.
God bless and keep you Mr. Sinise.

Thank you for posting this. I heard the Lars Larsen show tonight and Andrew Breitbart mentioned this article.
Congratulations Mr. Sinise, well deserved.

Mission to Mars was an awesome movie as well. Mission to Mars was the single worst pile of garbage ever cobbled together by a Hollywood studio.
But Gary Sinise is a great actor - and his career apparently hasn't suffered from being associated with it. ;)

Lol. I thought it was good compared to Red Planet (the movie with Val Kilmer). Okay, not awesome status but it's something I would watch if it was on HBO or something.
