In a recent interview with "One Nation with Brian Kilmeade," renowned actor Gary Sinise discussed the important work of the Gary Sinise Foundation in providing support to veterans and their families. As the nation celebrated Memorial Day, Sinise emphasized the significance of honoring the sacrifices made for the country.
A crucial part of this commemoration is the National Memorial Day Concert, which Sinise has been co-hosting since 2005 alongside fellow actor Joe Mantegna. Sinise shared how his participation in the concert in 2005 had a profound impact on him and became a meaningful way to bring the nation together.
This year's National Memorial Day Concert promises a 90-minute show featuring a stellar cast of actors, singers, and the national Symphony Orchestra. Sinise expressed his excitement about the upcoming event, highlighting the exceptional talent that will be showcased.
During the interview, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade praised the Gary Sinise Foundation for its efforts in providing homes for veterans who have experienced life-altering injuries. Sinise shared the inspiring stories of veterans like Ret. Army Maj. Jeremy Haynes and Ret. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Joshua Geddis.
Haynes, who was paralyzed below the waist after being shot by an Afghan soldier in Afghanistan, received a specially adapted smart technology, mortgage-free home from the foundation. Similarly, Geddis, who sustained injuries that left him a paraplegic, recently took possession of his new home.
The Gary Sinise Foundation's home building initiative has been a great success, with the organization recently celebrating the donation of their 92nd home. Sinise expressed his gratitude for the many partners who collaborate with the foundation, providing essential materials and services to create these specially adapted homes for wounded veterans.
Towards the end of the interview, Kilmeade offered his condolences for the loss of Sinise's son, McCanna Anthony "Mac" Sinise. Sinise shared that Mac, a talented musician, recorded an album before his passing, with all proceeds going toward the Gary Sinise Foundation. Interested individuals can visit the foundation's website to learn more about Mac's story and support the cause.
The Gary Sinise Foundation continues to make a significant impact in the lives of veterans and their families.
