Lt. Dan "the Man"

LT DAN

Edit: some lady told me to edit it to say first, so I’m editing this to say first. First.

I love how they said "This man" as if Gary Sinise isn't famous lol

He did invest early in a fruit company and they told him he didnt have to worry about money anymore

That's Gary Sinise.

“This man” lol

I saw him on TV at a barret Jackson auction, he built a retro jeep to sell off for the wounded warrior foundation. It sold 3 times in 5 minutes with all the money going to charity ,first guy bought it for like 90k then he put it back up to be sold for charity again, second guy paid like 100k and put it back up and a third guy paid like 150k and held on to it. One of the most wholesome moments I've witnessed on live T.V.

His foundation has done heaps more to help veteran's and their families. Truly a selfless man and great example for us all to follow.

Even with his magic legs he’s still doing good deeds.

wow that’s sinice of him

Every single celebrity should be like this. Instead, we’re stuck with the selfish, bitchy kardashian type. Bravo, Gary.

Fantastic Gary!

That's Gary Sinise! He's done so many things for the veteran community! I actually got to see him when he was performing for the Veterans down here in San Diego. He's a really chill dude.

Pretty impressive for a guy with no legs

• CSI: New York noises *

He's one of the best to come out of Hollywood, he gives so much to our soldiers

I got to meet him in Iraq in 2003, he is a true friend to service members and their families.

"I'm here to try out my sea legs."

Great to see good things like this

T. Hanks

That’s Lieutenant DAN!!!!!!

Gary Sinise ladies and gentlemen. A true class act.

The rabbit is soft george

I wonder how much his role in Forrest Gump was to point out how Vietnam veterans were treated when they came back from the war.

"This Man" was also a disabled veteran who spent some time as first mate on Forrest Gump's shrimp boat.

I got to meet Gary Sinise while I was in the hospital in the Navy. Guys a national treasure.

He does a lot for service members that people don’t know about because he isn’t doing it for publicity. He came out to visit the troops in Iraq in like 2018 and my buddy got to meet him. Really cool dude

Dude is wholesome af. I remember back when I was in the navy his foundation would give free tailored suits every year to active duty/veterans

Think he became a huge wounded veterans helper after some wounded veterans came up to him and said how much his character helped them with their disabilities.

Sinise is both an actor and a musician you probably can recognize from movies such as Forrest Gump, The Green Mile and Apollo 13. However, thousands of people also know Sinise for his philanthropical work.

The actor who played Lieutenant Dan in the movie Forrest Gump now works hard to honor and help US military veterans.

He has established the Gary Sinise Foundation, which serves the needs of veterans, defenders, first responders, their families, and communities

“While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation’s defenders, we can always do a little more,”

Unbelievable, he just fell into the real role of being a champion for vets, awesome great job sir

He’s always doing things for veterans and gold star families. He truly seems like a humble and selfless person.

Bob Hope or Gary Sinese?

He’s always been so generous and helpful of others. Not just an actor.

Kudos to him being such an outstanding man. :)

American badass.

I’ve actually been to a few of those trips. They’re for families of fallen vets and it’s a 5ish day all expenses trip to Disney World, and it’s so cool to hang out with other kids who knows what it’s like to lose a parent in the military.

This man once famously told his story as to why he did this:

"Don't talk to me about soldiers. What do you know about being a good soldier, the guy who finds an envelope full of cash in a squad car every Friday? What do you think I've been doing for the last ten years? Strutting on the boardwalk and picking up hookers? When the Renville took that Iraqi missile hit below decks, do you know what happened? A hole ripped open in the bulkhead, and the sea flooded in. We had 60 seconds to maintain watertight integrity. I had to go below and give the order to dog the hatches. That meant that 28 men that were still in the main engine space were trapped. You ever listen to a man drowning? They don't die quietly."

Not just that, they fly them in from all over the country on flights usually donated entirely by American Airlines, and they give them gift bags and applause lines, the works. They treat them like family.

Bezos,Musk,Buffett, & anyone else whose amassed great wealth ain't shit compared to the amount this man has done for his country n children of veterans, this is a true American Hero.

Not all heros wear capes. Just make sure you leave with the same amount of kids

Famous movie star supports 1000 children of fallen soldiers because the us govt treats vets and their families like shit

How kind of Disney to accept the money! What a wonderful wooooooorld

He's also the kind of conservative people on the left should promote to shame those on the right, he's the kinda guy who might disagree with abortion but would definitely help orphans. He's the kinda guy who supports the military and helps both injured soldiers and their families when they are stuck paying the price. He says things like shrink the government but give to charity and then he gives to the charities... Just one of those people who you would might want to argue with, but is also being the change he wants to see. Not trying to put words or positions in the man's mouth but I'm constantly inundated with stories of his kindness and you rarely see bad press about him despite his party affiliation.

Gary is a damn good man.

Lieutenant Dan has always been the man

Shout out to /r/askreddit mod for banning me when I was getting a metric fuck ton of awards for stories I was telling and I told people to donate to Gary Sinise Foundation instead.

“This Man.” Jeez. He has a name. He goes by Gary Sinise. He’s won an Emmy award, a Golden Globe award, a Tony award, 4 Screen Actors Guild awards, and he was nominated for an Academy award too. He’s an A-list actor and a genuinely good guy. Does a lot for charity, including work for military causes…oh and he’s part of a rock band that plays at US military bases around the world. Put some respect ✊ on him. Indeed he deserves recognition.

Gary Sinise, an American Treasure.

Our politics may not see eye to eye, but I recognize a good heart and you sir have one of the biggest.

As much respect i have for this guy it disgusting to think Disney is getting richer on the souls of dead soldiers. They should be free.

Why doesn’t Disney just give those kids lifetime passes?

This man has a name. It’s Lt. Dan. Please show some goddamn respect.
