The Gary Sinise Foundation throws a massive party each December to give families of fallen military heroes a reason to celebrate together.
Actor Gary Sinise started a foundation in 2011 to support veterans who served after the 9/11 attacks, and says there is still a “tremendous need.” “People are struggling and suffering," Sinise told CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge. "We want them to know that regardless of what happened, their service mattered.”
Actor Gary Sinise says supporting veterans through a foundation he started in 2011 is his "full-time mission."
After the 1994 Oscar-winning movie wrapped, Gary Sinise created a foundation to help returning service members, while Michael Conner Humphreys (who played Forrest as a child) grew up to serve 18 months in Iraq's Anbar Province
