Gary, Guitars and Iraq Star
Gary stopped by the Fender 2010 Showcase currently underway in Anaheim, CA and chatted with Tony Franklin:

In October 2009, Gary was honored by the Iraq Star Foundation, at their Night for Stars benefit. The foundation is a non-profit organization that provides reconstructive surgery to American soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan wars and is funded entirely by public donations.
In conjunction with the event, TLC’s American Chopper:OCC was asked to build a bike to benefit the foundation. The video just below includes comments from Gary, a few scenes from the show and clips from the charity event! Watch to see Gary (and Moira) and pay close attention — sale of the bike raised $100K for the foundation!
The entire American Chopper episode (which aired in December 2009) is available at Amazon.com.
