Gary Sinise Honored with Patriot Award for Years of Advocacy for Veterans
by Hannah Bleau

Veteran Hollywood actor Gary Sinise received the Patriot Award, “the highest honor given out by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society,” for his unrelenting work and years of advocacy for U.S. veterans.

The actor — who played disabled military veteran Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump and a longtime fixture on hit TV dramas, including CSI:NY and Criminal Minds — recently received the honor at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley for the work he has done for veterans over the span of more than two decades.

He celebrated 25 years of advocacy for the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) last year and founded the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2010, which aims to honor “our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need” by “creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.”
