Actor Gary Sinise gave an amazing gift to Gold Star families for Christmas a trip to Disney World for almost 1,700 family members of fallen soldiers.
Each one of these children who are going on these airplanes have lost a parent in military serviceseither combat related or illness or unfortunately suicide sometimes, The Gary Sinise Foundation founder said. We wanna take care of these kids and make sure they know we dont forget.
The families took 15 planes and stayed at Disney for five days, The Epoch Times reports.

I met Mr Sinise at the L.A USO office years ago. He looked like he was having a bad day..
Then my Gf almost cried because he told her fave movie is Forest Gump and he didnt care much about Tom Hanks, then Gary started laughing. The dude is total chill and down to earth.
I was only there because Kim Coates of Sons of Anarchy is good bud of mine (and an ex-Canadian like me) and he goes to volunteer at the USO sometimes.
I have the Iphone photo of it (three of us with Gary Sinise) but I dont want to post it for privacy reasons..
You’re friends with Kim Coates? No kidding! He’s a pretty interesting guy.
Great story.
Of course he should get the Academys humanitarian achievement award, but
He’s an awesome dude- if only Hollywood had more people like him, it would be a much better organization
Gary is a bright light amid a darkening world. God bless him.
Hi.
Thanks for posting.
Probably wouldn’t have seen this anywhere else.
5.56mm
Great scene from Goodfellas.
Any evidence the Clinton Foundation has done anything like this..?
“Youre friends with Kim Coates? “
i was at his after-party on the day he was sworn in and became an American citizen. :) More drinking party than eating haha
Thats a great thing he did. I would have opened IRAs for all of them but it wouldnt have had the same emotional impact.
I don’t know about you but these 3 movies must have made him a decent chunk of change:
Apollo 13
Forest Gump
Ransom
Each of those were solid box office winners without counting other works, so I’m guessing he doesn’t have money woes!
“Any evidence the Clinton Foundation has done anything like this?”
The Clinton Foundation was a corrupt organization that illegally betrayed U.S. interests in exchange for funds for the Clintons and donated a tiny percent of that money.
As to charities for veterans, the Clinton literally gave nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
As the headline said, “Clinton gave ZERO to veterans charities”
https://thehornnews.com/revealed-clinton-gave-zero-veterans-charities/
The Clintons deducted from the federal income tax returns the value of Bills used underwear that the Clintons supposedly donated to charities. As reported by Lloyd Grove , Washington Post, on 12/28/1993: Several experts were consulted about Clinton's tax-deductible donations, especially of underwear.
Likewise, three Air Force cheers!!!
Thanks for that link.

It has also been my great pleasure to meet him - again - while he was giving time and energy to a veterans’ project.
The man is a TRUE star.
As Bill wrote to the ROTC commander at the University of Arkansas long ago: “I loathe the U.S. military.”
The Clinton Foundation has been (rightly) exposed as little more than a slush fund for Bill, Hil and their cronies. A convenient way to see the world on the donor’s dime and provide six-figure employment to folks like Sid Blumenthal between gigs. Very clear that the (ahem) foundation was in violation of multiple federal laws, yet to this day, no one has gone to jail and it’s doubtful anyone every will.
