Gary Sinise: One of the Good Guys

This weekend actor Gary Sinise, star of CSI: NY, received the G.I. Spirit Award, which honors "the entertainer who most embodies the spirit of the American G.I. and his work."

Sinise tours with the USO and has visited Iraq on multiple occasions; he visits military hospitals and has been involved with a veteran's group.

He also co-founded a group which has sent over 400,000 kits of school supplies to children in Iraq. The kits are hand-delivered by members of the U.S. military.

Sinise was recently interviewed by TV Guide about his efforts to support the troops.

Sinise's best-known film roles include FORREST GUMP and APOLLO 13...but it sounds like the "role" he plays in real life is the best one of all.
