Grateful American: A Journey from Self to Service by Gary Sinise

5.0

Really enjoyed this memoir by actor, Gary Sinise. His life story of how his first big movie role as Lieutenant Dan in Forest Gump turned into a lifetime of service to our nation's veterans, especially severely wounded veterans, is absolutely incredible. I really admire Gary and his tireless service to our military, veterans, and first responders through his Gary Sinise Foundation. Gary is a prime example of why actors, professional athletes, and other famous people shouldn't just "shut up and play" but should absolutely use their celebrity for causes that are important to them. Gary has used his celebrity including his money and his fame to do a ton of good work. I loved hearing his story.
