Well known for his portrayal of “Lt. Dan” in “Forrest Gump,” actor and musician Gary Sinise was named an honorary U.S. Marine during a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on Friday, according to a statement released by the U.S. Marine Corps website.
“This was one of the most extraordinary nights,” Sinise said in the statement. “I was totally surprised by what the general gave me tonight. I’m humbled, shocked, moved and motivated to keep standing up for our men and women and giving back to them.”
Gen. James F. Amos, the Marine Corps’ commandant, hosted the ceremony at his home at the Marine Barracks.

Regardless of his politics... which I believe he doesn’t degrade himself to that level... he sticks with acting and his band, Gary Sinise is a great American.
I am glad that someone posted this... he does good things for vets and this honor is appropriate.

Supporting the troops goes a long way, but if he's a REAL far leftist, then... well, Soviet families also supported their troops, right?
I'm hearing he's not, so he's on our side and he supports the troops for the 'right' reason... which is awesome...

I knew this was about Gary before I even clicked on the link. He walks the walk.Same here. And I was so glad to see it confirmed. Gary Sinise is definitely a good man. He is generous with his time and talent, a friend to our troops and to veterans.

I think they are referring to the ‘selfless service’ of helping our troops....
