[@jilldesruisseau]

Thank you, Gary for everything you do for veterans and first responders. We need more people like this in the world.

[@David-wc5zl]

Without his support for the war, we'd have fewer vets in need of help! The circle of War! So beautiful!

[@wandawalls6137]

Run for president Gary ! Love you!!

[@skiptrace1888]

GARY SENESE is such a wonderful example of what it really means to care about others and making ways to let them know it! ❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@lalaj5831]

I knew I liked Gary Sinise as an actor. Wow! I love Gary Sinise the human being.

[@shevawnprather7162]

I wish there were more people like Gary Sinise and his band who give from their heart and soul, not just for self gratification. God bless them. 🙏❤️

[@dwainsellers6453]

Thank you for what you all do for our United States Military. 🇺🇸 Very inspiring!

[@carleenjackson8692]

I was 18 when I married. My first husband went in the Army 5 months after we married and was in Viet Nam. My second husband served with the Navy and was in during the Viet Nam era. I am also the mother of a veteran who served during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Though both of my husbands are gone now, my son is still with us. I am proud of all three. Freedom is not free and no one will know that better than those families who have loved ones who gave all. God Bless Gary Sinise with all that he does in helping our veterans.

[@SheepDogActual]

I love this guy. If I weren’t so broken, disabled vet, I would go anywhere to see him. I struggle with ptsd and thank you for what you do.

[@dg2152]

God had a plan for your life Gary, I'm giving Him praise for the lives you've touched, you're a blessing to so many. Thank You.

[@windcancersurvivor5120]

Saw the Lt Dan Band on base about 10 years ago, what a group of talented individuals! And Gary Sinese is not the main player, every member of the band is extraordinarily talented!

[@dieselbassohyah1533]

I play bass and he's good.

[@LongLiveTheBeat]

Everyone go read his book, “Grateful American” 😃 He’s so much more than an actor an musician!

[@ediecerniglia-witner5297]

My late husband, USMC, Vietnam disabled vet- he would have loved your band. Thank you for what you do!

[@equine2020]

He is a true patriot. Love him.

[@yvonnenelson9056]

You totally ROCK Gary SINISE. Such a wonderful, wonderful person for ALL you have done in your lifetime for the military, veterans and families, and ALL mankind. Love you Gary Sinise and thanks much for your wonderful entertainment. You truly are a GODSEND from up above. Someone who is very honest and sincere in all you encounter in life. Can't help but "love the guy"!

[@kensmith2839]

My daughter was stationed at Naval Hospital Balboa 4 or 5 years ago and the Lt. Dan Band played for the patients, families, service members and visitors. I am a former Marine and was thrilled to have been there.

[@joefrazier4288]

To all PSWD THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🇺🇸

[@GaliSinatra]

As a former "Dogface Soldier" of the 3rd ID when it was in Wuerzburg, Germany, thank you Gary Sinise and the Foundation! I was wondering what happened to Rocky! Glad to see they shipped him to Georgia along with the division.

[@buzzmeachum1855]

Love that he plays bass, the most ignored instrument in ANY band! 👍🇺🇸

[@rollin8248]

You are so AWESOME in what you have done and do for the troops. God Bless You Gary!

[@ronpirolo7768]

I admire his character. It's uncommon to find well-known actors who think beyond themselves to serve others.

[@cassieholloway2397]

Such a sweet & honorable man....Ty Lt. Dan ❤❤❤❤

[@dougmarlow9466]

I salute you & your band Mr. Sinise ❤

[@josephgrosso8731]

Truly Amazing! My dad and uncle were in many battles in WW2. My uncle served in 3rd ID (Audie Murphy’s outfit) and was in all 4 amphibious landings of war. I watched ‘To Hell and Back’ as a child with him. When I heard that trooper lead that song, it brought a tear to my eye, remembering my dad and uncle. God Bless Gary and all our troops!]

[@lonehawk71]

What an excellent person. God bless him.

[@FredSmith-s5t]

I was in the audience in Pueblo Colorado at a concert by Lt Dan band for a Medal of Honor recipients convention. As he went past me he acknowledged me because of my NAVY ret hat.

[@goatmealcookies7421]

It is truly a gift when the right circumstances occur to bring together a man with a cause, in order to bring comfort and love to so many. Thank you, Gary Sinise, and thanks to all of the men and women who have and are serving our country.

[@duracelleke1]

So proud of you , the way you interfere with people , amazing , for me you are a true star Sir !

[@coffeytnmilk]

Forever grateful for Gary Sinise and everyone who has served and supported the foundation. The work you are doing represents everything that is uniquely special about America…..Service | Sacrifice | Honor and Support.

[@denysesieders9035]

Thank God for you Mr. Gary Sinise...now and always

[@richardharvey216]

SAYING THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED. Doesn't seem Enough?. I Thank you for All that you do and have done😊

[@deemariewright3981]

Hi Gary Sinise!! You & my son, David, met during a private viewing of a movie of yours at a movie theatre in Fayetteville, NC years ago. My son said everyone was down talking him for not wearing a suit and tie and just dressing like a regular guy, then you showed up dressed like a regular guy!! Y’all hit it off, sat together during the movie. He says you’re the real deal and a most likable guy!! I’m very proud of you for all you do for our military.❣️❣️❣️

[@LWilliamsYoutube]

Gary, you are very inspiring to continue to do this for our troops, even 25+ years after the Forrest Gump film was released. You stand for traditional American values, and this is so important in our crazy identity politics insanity world. Thanks for all you do for our people in and out of the military services.

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Whether you serve in war, or not, the military life is extremely stressful, and frequently monotonous. Anything that breaks that up is welcomed, heartily. Thanks to Mr. Sinise, and all the other entertainers, who do shows like this, for those in uniform, and their families. I know I appreciated those shows.

[@maureen669]

I love this man. If he ran for President I'd vote for him & I'm a Democrat. 🇺🇸

[@seanbush5056]

Sad to say, but his character is too far above the office at this point. No doubt, I do agree with you thin. Mr. Sinise is a uniquely sincere & compassionate person, we could only be so lucky to have his kind of humanity in the White House.

[@GimmeDolla]

@@seanbush5056 We do. If you believe otherwise, then you've been getting your information from the wrong places.

[@jwgreek8606]

He would be an improvement than the guy in there right now. Trump has disrespected the troops time and time again.

[@scottcaldwell7480]

Maureen I could not agree more. Voting for men & women of character regardless of the initial behind their name will save our country.

[@garysinise9433]

thank you my darling you are really welcome to my humble heart

[@mozartframing2757]

Hi Gary, thank you for all the work you did!

[@jonathanvel2891]

GARY SINISE, GOD BLESS YOU MY BRADA, YOUR HEART, YOUR SOUL, YOUR COMPASSION..... & ESPECIALLY "YOUR ALOHA" IS THE PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT IS TO BE A HUMANITARIAN!!!!!!!! GARY, I SAY THIS WITH PLENTY ALOHA..... EH BRA, U WOULD MAKE 1 DAMN GOOD HAWAIIAN 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@charlottetracy3970]

What a life you've built and all the people you've helped and touched and moved in their hearts! Bless you Gary!

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Gary, the REAL deal! A true hero to so many who served! God bless him and our vets! They deserve our most we have to give!

[@cecilchristopher5092]

Thanks Gary, only two entertainers love the military enough to go anywhere they are to entertain them you and Bob Hope. As a Vietnam vet that was lucky enough to see the Bob Hope Long Bin show in 1970 I want to tell you how much you do is appreciated.

[@Beachgrl1717]

Thank you Gary for all your incredible efforts in support of our armed forces! Thank you to all of our military forces who protect and serve our great country. I am a AF veteran myself. My dad and brother are also former AF as well. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

[@noahbawdy3395]

God bless you, your bandmates, and crew for doing this Gary.

[@hogheadv2]

A movie that changed people and the world in a most unsuspecting.

[@richierich440007]

Truly awesome and a tone of ongoing blessings 💙❤️🤍

[@nicholasdonvito1703]

I love Gary Sinise as an actor and an activist. I’m a 100% Combat Wounded vet of Vietnam with the 1st Cav Div Delta Do 2nd Batt 8th Cav 1st Air Cavalry Div 68/69. I then served nearly 30 years as a Police Officer here in NY state. But now I’m having problems with my old war wounds and would love to see the Lt Dan Band in person. Oh well, we can always hope.

[@RickActual]

A great American. Thank you for your service.

[@msanashka]

Kudos for having been doing so much for so long to show appreciaton for all the sacrifices the veterans do to keep our freedom alive. Priceless!!

[@tjblackforest69]

Man ,I love that spirit! Thank you Lieutenant Dan!

[@weenttaguy223]

OUTSTANDING! Mr. Gary Sinise...so many have been forgotten, but now are remembered with your inspiring love and respect for those who made scarifies for the freedom most take for granted today? There's a special seat waiting for you in heaven...and all those who did the right thing...bless you all 🙏😇 from Alberta, Canada.

[@SusanCote-n7z]

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

Thanks Gary Sinise, LT DAN! your videos bring water to my eyes. My Dad was in the second wave on Omaha beach, also on to the battle of the Bulge. 2 purple hearts.

I always wondered who would take over forBob Hope and you came through big time Gary. Thank you for you love of our boys and America.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️😇

[@David-wc5zl]

Like Bob, he was always there to keep the war going for as long as possible!

[@shawnthefarmer9283]

i never heard that Gary Sinise did this. it makes me remember that the best deeds a man can do are the ones he doesnt talk about.

[@mariamcaleavey3444]

amazing to listen and see you have a gift in music in helping others around you bless you God always watching over us in some way and your self and your family bless you stay safe to you family and others thankyou.

[@jundytouch]

You did great in FORREST GUMP, Lt. Dan / Gary S. Your band and foundation has a wonderful cause. Keep up the great work. Salute to you, Sir, and to all the veterans and all the active soldiers. You are a good musician, too.

[@ronseguin7289]

Thank you for supporting our troops, you and all the band are very much appreciated.

[@garydurham9617]

Thank you for your service to our men and women in uniform and to our country! God bless you and your band for what you do for our soldiers.

Gary seems to be a really good guy, nice to see him do this for his people…

[@bradleylaford1526]

Nice... Nice Sound... This is exactly what the Troops Need!

[@FernandoLobo]

I dislike the fact Gary Sinise stopped acting, one of the good ones. But then I've learned he is doing this and a lot of charity.....and I am not disappointed anymore, just proud.

[@KorbinX]

Incredible what one human can do

[@teresaachenbach2407]

We lost a great guy. Thank goodness for his foundation.

[@zoranbl1990]

Mac Taylor is THE ULTIMATE BAD ASS. Still looks good. The Man, The Myth, The Legend.

[@trixie898989]

I saw the Lt. Dan Band in concert almost 11 years ago in St. Charles, MO. What a great time. 🥰

[@Carimm60]

Had the honor to meet Gary Sinise at Landstuhl Reginal Medical Center and then see the band play at Ramstein Air Force Base back in 08 or 09 on the 4th of July and to this day I have supported his outreach and Foundation. Thank you for all that you do Gary and the rest of the Lt. Dan Band! You mean the world to us vets!

[@johnarmstrong5591]

Fantastic! I WILL now watch all his old stuff...Saw forest Gump last week

[@AnduNeedle]

I was just a kid when I was watching CSI NY. I always liked Gary. Years later I started playing bass. I can't forget the moment I learned he is a bass player. That makes me feel so proud.

[@BrodyFoster-g1z]

[@simonbertioli4696]

Great help, great guy...as with all those solders...too. They need support

[@telecasterbear]

I agree with other comments here. Gary is a great leader and motivator, and will have my support.

[@michaelratliff9449]

Gary Sinise is a certified American Treasure,.. what a good and great fellow. ..Salute! ... From a Veteran 🇺🇲

[@jfrazz9729]

This highlights how you don’t have to be IN the military to serve it, and therefore serve your country. Fundraising for aftercare, transport, food, mental health care via music. My unit got a freaking medal for baking cakes in the field and we were like “it was on the menu!” Moral is everything.

[@monicaford5106]

Gary is a treasure.

[@EinMagillaGorilla]

Thank you Gary. Legend.

[@marchebert9813]

Saw them last night. Bought merchandise. Best show I've seen in a long time. Godbless Gary and the troops.

[@timalan5376]

Gary is one cool cat, he supports Veterans, and you can't ask for much more from any citizen.

[@David-wc5zl]

The best part about Gary is his support for Republicans and their failed War on Terror! He did his best to help make more injured vets!

[@decencywarrior9598]

Gary , his organization ,and the DAV -powerhouse's for humanity. ❤
