You don’t have to be a Twitchy regular to know that actor Gary Sinise is absolutely one of the good guys. He’s set up the Gary Sinise Foundation to help veterans and their families (and fly Gold Star children to Disney World for Christmas), and he tours with the Lt. Dan Band to entertain the troops.
On Tuesday, the Gary Sinise Foundation released a surprise video thanking Sinise for all his hard work, with appearances by both veterans and celebrities like Jay Leno, Tom Hanks, Rob Lowe, Tim Allen, Joe Mantegna, Tim Allen, and many, many more.
Sinise tweeted that he was “completely shocked” and “choked up” by the video, and you probably will be too.
Completely shocked and speechless by this surprise video. Incredibly touched and grateful by everyone’s support. I’m crying, so choked up, I thought I’d share. https://t.co/Q0j2C1hWLu via @YouTube

Well done, sir. ??

Thank you LT Dan. Why this wonderful man doesn’t have a Presidential Medal of Freedom is shocking and beyond comprehension.

I suspect that there are not enough years left in your life to hear all the thankyou’s you have coming to you, including my own, but I sure hope there are. You are a definition of selfless service.

As a military spouse I can’t thank you enough. I have personally seen your efforts over the years and people in our community know when @GarySinise is behind something it will happen.
