We all remember Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump because Gary Sinise has really stepped up and helped veterans through his foundation and his endless engagement with the USO. This is now the book about the man himself and how he became the real life hero that we know today.
Growing up in Chicago, his early life was typical for many American boys - sports and rock 'n roll. By chance he made it on to stage and the rest was a stellar rise to the Hollywood elite. But life was not quite full it seemed and his portrayal of the disabled veteran in Forrest Gump made him a hero among veterans, who felt he really represented them in the movie. This started a two-way road, veterans supporting Gary and Gary giving back to the veteran community.
