Hats off to Gary for his ongoing efforts to support our troops- he is a TRUE AMERICAN! Unlike other hollywood elite, Gary continues to support our men and women unwaveringly as they serve our country in harms way. This is a star who has his priorities in order.

Gary visited the area my son is serving overseas today. My son sent pictures of them with Gary. He said Gary’s visit was greatly appreciated and a big boost for everyone’s morale. Thank you Gary!
