Gary Sinise, famous for his roles in Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and CSI: NY, has dedicated his life to "honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need."
He started the Gary Sinise Foundation to expand his efforts in 2011.
Since 2004, Sinise has teamed up Joe Mantegna to host the National Memorial Day Concert on PBS.
