Breitbart is subbing for Rusty Humphries tonight and spent a good deal talking about him. (Also had FReeper Machosauce as a guest for several segments.)

Great for him!

I thought his best performance on screen was a relatively minor one -- as astronaut Ken Mattingly in Apollo 13.

I’m glad Gary Sinise has been recognized for all he does for our troops. This guy is awesome in my book. And yes, I’m still PO’d that he didn’t get the Oscar for his portrayal of Lt. Dan. Hollyweirdos wouldn’t know a great acting performance if it bit them on the ass.

I’d consider an award of the Presidential Citizens Medal a big deal,
but the whole weekend went by and I didn’t hear a peep about
this story in the MSM.

I’d say the same thing.
But a few outlets did actually report on the medal ceremony.

Of course, medals handing out by a Republican President...
that’s not worthy news for plenty of the MSM.

Sinise appears to be a low-key guy that wouldn’t blow his horn
about getting this honor.

Clearly, this man has soul, but not the sole the media cares about.

I love Gary Sinise! Before my husband deployed, I told him if he ever had the chance to meet him over there to get his photo and an autograph. I love his version of Mice and Men and and love that he supports the troops the way he does.

Good for him. I'm glad to hear it.

It is a big deal. Sinise rocks. It’s a shame that so many in Hollywood are such jerks. My DH’s uncle was an actor who served in WWII. He went to Parris Island with us to watch his Nephew graduate from boot camp. I thought that he was going to bust buttons off of his shirt he was so proud. I wish there were more in Hollywood who had such pride in our country.

Perhaps this part of the article explains the media silence:

"Mr. Sinise not only 'supports the troops,' but he champions their mission as well."

Are you questioning their patriotism?

This is how the left shows support of the troops!

By completely ignoring them.

And Gary.

Us right wingers aren’t nuanced enough or something.

I guess.

He is a really good man.

That honor was deserved.

He seems like a good, decent and principled man.

The troops seem to think the world of him, from what I hear. That says volumes to me.

Always did like Gary. Now I have another reason.

And he plays a pretty mean axe.

The Presidential Citizens Medal is well deserved by Gary Sinise for his support of our military and the Operation Iraqi Children program.

Thank you Mr. Sinise.

Not many people in this world I would feel honored to meet … Gary Sinise is one of my top three, the other two are, unfortunitly, dead. (President Reagan, and Charlton Heston would be the other two)
