In this exclusive FOX News documentary, actor and activist Gary Sinise shares the "on the road" experiences he had last summer in Iraq while visiting American troops.

Some 25 hours of his adventure was captured verite style with a handheld camera. Sinise does his best to meet his goal of what he says is "5000 handshakes, 2000 miles in seven days."

The personal footage captures heartfelt meetings between Sinise and the troops in Kuwait and the Iraqi cities of Al Qaim, Al Asad, Ramadi and Baghdad.

Gary Sinise FTW!!!

I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Sinise and he was extremely cordial and down to earth.

He’s the anti-Hollywood.

On the evening of 9/11, my wife remarked ‘Its a time for hero’s’.

Gary Sinese is one of them.

I have become a big fan of Sinise’s CSI:NY. It is a great show, and I want to support a show with a true American.

Gary Sinise is my hero.

If half of the Hollywood crowd were half as kind as he is I would actually start going to the movies again. As it is I’m cool with watching him every Wednesday night and I won’t miss his special this weekend.
