Countless brave men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good.
These heroes, who have given their lives for our country, deserve our deepest respect and honor.
It is a great act of kindness to support the families they leave behind.
One renowned actor has taken this responsibility to heart and is making a significant difference.
Gary Sinise, best known for his role as a disabled war veteran in the iconic film, Forrest Gump, is now extending his support to the families of fallen soldiers in real life.
He has treated over 1,000 children of fallen war veterans to a trip to Disneyland, a gesture that goes beyond the screen.
Sinise, who played Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, established the Gary Sinise Foundation, a charity dedicated to assisting the families of American heroes.
The foundation’s mission extends beyond helping veterans; it also supports first responders and defenders of our country.
The foundation launched the “Snowball Express” program, which focuses on providing children of fallen heroes with trips to Disney World.
The Gary Sinise Foundation is committed to supporting families who have lost a loved one in service to their country.
Sinise is deeply passionate about this cause, stating, “While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation’s defenders, we can always do a little more.”
Through the Gary Sinise Foundation, over 1,750 children were given a free trip of a lifetime, a five-night stay at the magical Disney World.
While the trip was designed to provide fun and enjoyment, the foundation did not forget the purpose of their mission – to honor and remember the family members who bravely sacrificed themselves.
The world can be a lonely place for the families of fallen veterans.
That’s why Sinise is there to ensure they know they are loved and not alone.
“The most important thing about Snowball Express is that these children don’t feel alone. There’s a lot of healing and a lot of bonding and a lot of friendship that goes on that helps them through the rest of the year,” Sinise told CBS Los Angeles.
Every trip organized by the foundation includes a special ceremony to honor each fallen soldier.
On their most recent trip to Disney World, a sea of 600 flags was displayed to honor the veterans, first responders, and their families.
The Gary Sinise Foundation does much more than organize free trips.
Along with providing children of fallen veterans with unforgettable experiences, the foundation has also built 58 homes for severely wounded veterans and served almost 200,000 meals to our nation’s defenders.
This level of generosity is not commonly seen, even among celebrities.
Sinise’s actions are truly inspirational, and it’s hoped that his efforts will encourage more people to use their resources to help those in need.
Sinise’s dedication to supporting the families of fallen heroes is a testament to his character and his commitment to honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
His work serves as a reminder of the power of kindness and the impact one person can make in the lives of others.
