From Our Front Lines

For seven consecutive years, the Gary Sinise Foundation has proudly maintained a perfect 4 out of 4 star rating from Charity Navigator, the most reputable charity assessment organization.

In the heart of New York City, the memory of 9/11 resonates deeply, especially within service communities. This year, Gary Sinise, through the Gary Sinise Foundation’s Serving Heroes program, traveled with his team to share meals and moments of reflection with those who sacrifice so much for the safety of others.

Our nation’s veterans and first responders often struggle under the crushing weight of trauma, something we call “the invisible wounds” of war and service. With a suicide rate of twice the civilian population, our frontline heroes often face their mental health struggles in shame and silence. A recent participant shared his powerful story with us. Warning to Readers: This story contains graphic descriptions.

Honor, Gratitude, and Rock & Roll. Every Lt. Dan Band concert is a personal reminder of America’s gratitude for our heroes. Thank you for allowing us to be your conduit of love and appreciation for those who serve and sacrifice in freedom’s defense.

Supporting and uplifting our First Responders is an integral part of the mission of the Gary Sinise Foundation. This past week, the Foundation was honored to host more than 1,000 children and spouses/guardians of our fallen First Responder heroes for their very first Snowball Express "Disney in December" Event.

The holiday season is a time of wonder and remembrance. This past week, the Gary Sinise Foundation was honored to host more than 1,800 children and spouses/guardians of our fallen military heroes at our Snowball Express "Disney In December" Event.

Earlier this month, Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band hosted a memorable appreciation concert in our new hometown of Franklin, Tennessee!

It seems like a small thing to say thank you. But here on Veterans Day, I want to simply say “Thank you” for serving our great country.
