Gary Receives Presidential Citizens Medal
Today, President Bush will present Gary (along with twenty-two others) the Presidential Citizens Medal at the White House
The White House press release offered the following comment:
Gary Sinise is a humanitarian and a patriot. Working alongside our military and reaching out a compassionate hand to Iraqi children, he is helping a society once brutalized by a tyrant to rebuild and realize the great blessings of liberty. He has also travelled the world to show America’s gratitude to our service members. The United States honors Gary Sinise for his efforts to improve the human condition and his strong commitment to the selfless men and women who devote their lives to military service.
The Presidential Citizens Medal was established in November 13, 1969, to recognize U.S. citizens who have performed exemplary deeds of service for the nation. It is one of the highest honors the President can confer upon a civilian, second only to the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Gary! Gary! Gary!
I am not a military veteran, but my father was. I am forever indebted to you for the support of US troops in a time of war; subjecting yourself to harm while sincerely entertaining our amazing soldiers and troops. Thank you! Thank you! You are such a patriot! I admire you greatly!!!!!!
