Celebrities took the time to sing Sinise’s praises, however, some of the veterans whose lives are improved as a result of the Sinise’s foundation also had some things to say.
One veteran intoned: “As you can see we’re in front of this beautiful house right now. We wouldn’t have had it were it not for your kindness, graciousness and your wonderful gift of giving.”
“We must do all we can to extend our hand in times of need to those who willingly sacrifice each day to provide that freedom and security. While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation’s defenders, we can always do a little more,” says Gary Sinise on his foundation website.
