You would be hard-pressed to find an American who does more for the troops than actor Gary Sinise, the tireless advocate who, through the Gary Sinise Foundation, spends much of his time looking out for their interests.
Sinise spent his Thanksgiving at Kandahar Air Force Base in Afghanistan, serving Thanksgiving dinner to U.S. forces.
…you know, something presidents used to do in America, as one social media user noted.
Not that President Barack Obama can be faulted, he had his plate full this week handing out Medal of Freedom awards to top-tier celebrity supporters like Ellen DeGeneres, Robert De Niro, Bill and Melinda Gates, Tom Hanks, Robert Redford and Bruce Springsteen, among others — collectively, the recipients have donated tens of thousands of dollars in support of Obama.

Such a good guy!
Thanks Gary. A true patriot.
maybe Trump should give him a job fixing the VA.
Sinise is a good man.
Thanks for posting.
Wonderful man. I would love to see him put in charge of fixing our Dept. of Veteran’s Affairs.
Gary is a great man.obama has cheapened everything he’s touched!
We can say many negative things about the globalist Bush clan but W. did serve my number 1 son-in-law some Thanksgiving dinner in 2003.
He is a damn good man and patriot. He is a lot like Bob Hope. They loved our fighting men. He is a great credit to my great nation.
If you had 1,000 Tom Hanks and other liberals, you still couldn’t have the patriotism of 1/2 of Gary Sinise...
Sinise is a patriot! God bless him.
You'll never hear such a word from me..........Eight years of media attacks from the left will definitely affect public opinion..........
I'll never forget the first clandestine appearance of Pres. Bush at the first Christmas in Iraq...it brought tears to my eyes.
Next year, President Trump should award the Medal of Freedom to F.B.I. Director James Comey (Yeah, I know, but it will drive the left nuts!)
Tom Hanks made a movie about a war.
Gary Sinise goes to where the fighting is.
Huge difference.
Hard-pressed,also,to find someone who does LESS for the troops than you-know-who.
Heard an interview with Sinise talking about touring. On tours he always carries with him what many soldiers want to see often. His Lt. Dan dog tags from the movie.
This is why he is my favorite celebrity. Rock on Lieutenant Dan Band.
I doubt if a patronage medal from Benito Mussolini would be something the grand kids would brag about.
