@granddi  Gary Sinese is the founder of the Gary Sinese Foundation, not Wounded Warriors.

@granddi:  You are correct.  He works very hard for this and has raised a  lot of money for veterans.   Good choice for Grand Marshal.

You are right. I own it. I was wrong.


@granddi  It's ok.  I just noticed I incorrectly spelled his name.  D'oh.

I was just going to post about his foundation

 

At the Gary Sinise Foundation, we serve our nation by
honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders,
their families, and those in need.

We do this by creating and supporting unique
programs designed to entertain, educate,
inspire, strengthen, and build communities.

Gary Sinise and Joe Mantagna host the Washinton DC Memorial Day Concert each year.  We never miss it, on our PBS channel. A tribute to our military, past and present.  It is emotional and fitting for the holiday.  Very patriotic.

I ADORE that man! He does so much good. Quietly, without fanfare. He's one heck of a man. Couldn't have picked a better guy!!
