Lt. Dan deserves all the praise and we can never thank him enough for everything he does.
Some actors identify themselves with the roles they play to an extent that it changes their lives forever. Gary Sinise is definitely one of them. After he landed the role of Lieutenant Dan, a wounded Vietnam veteran, in the award-winning film Forrest Gump, Sinise made it his life mission to help as many veterans as possible.
Through his Gary Sinise Foundation, he changed the lives of a huge number of veterans, defenders, first responders, their families, and those in need.
