I've seen an item or two today on the news about Gary Sinise going to the ME to entertain the troops. The man strikes me as the second coming of Bob Hope in this regard.

 

In an age where celebrities like Charlize Theron, Johnny Depp, and others can only seem to find time to bad-mouth our president and the troops he commands, I find this a refreshing change. I won't even get into my sentiments towards the Dixie Chicks.

 

As a military veteran of Viet Nam, and a civilian on the ground for the first Gulf War, I salute Gary Sinise.

Yes, I've heard about Lt. Dan's, er, Gary Sinise's good reputation and accomplishments in this regard.

 

Something to be applauded, for sure. Thumbs up.

Considering I only know Gary Sinise as Mac Taylor in CSI:NY, I suspect he's got a more diverse talent than just acting.

 

Good on him.
