Gary Sinise, best known for playing Lt. Dan, who lost his legs fighting in Vietnam in “Forrest Gump,” this week returned to South Carolina’s Lowcountry, where much of the 1994 film was shot.

I really like that guy! Too bad all celebrities don’t have his values.
Lt. Dan is da man!
I love Gary!
October 5th we will be dedicating the new Fisher House on the campus of the Charlie Norwood VAMC Uptown Division, Augusta, GA. It is a beautiful 20 bedroom house.We could probably fill all 20 bedrooms with the families of those young vets on the spinal cord unit at CNVAMC.
This is a nasty war.
He will be at Lejeune tonight. We are so excited!!
A true American patriot.
Saw his show at the DC Auto Show several years ago. The donation box had bunches of $20 bills.
This man has my sincere respect, and my gratitude.
A true citizen hero. I salute you Lt. Dan!
As he supports *us* (military, veterans, and their families), and has done so consistently for quite some time, I reciprocate, and support *him* and his film/television projects. This is the best way one can show one's approval, and maybe the idea will catch on...
