Rachael Ray’s web site has a nice recap of Gary’s appearance on the show last December, including a link to video. It’s a lot of fun, so enjoy.
Thanks to Heather for the tip.
The GI Film Festival announced that Gary will host a screening of Forrest Gump as part of the festival events this coming Memorial Day weekend in Washington, D.C. Following the screening, Gary will be guest of honor at a VIP Reception to benefit the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial.
According to their website, the GIFF is the first film festival to celebrate and honor the heroic stories of the American Armed Forces in film. They will present films from both established and new filmmakers; some will be fan favorites while others will be screened for the first time.
The festival takes place May 26th-28th at the Ronald Regan International Trade Center, Washington, D.C.
Tickets go on sale April 10th. Please visit the GI Film Festival website for additional information.
Gary was a guest on Dennis Miller’s radio show yesterday. They talked a bit about Operation Iraqi Children, CSI NY and the USO. The interview is available on line here.
An AP article on the distinctiveness of CSI:NY includes an interview with Gary.
CBN News reporter Melissa Charbonneau recently sat down with Gary to talk about a variety of important issues. This is one of the lengthier pieces with Gary in quiet some time. The are 7 videos clips of the interview on line, so sit back and click around a bit: Gary’s CBN News Interview.
CBN News also did a nice feature about Gary and his work for disabled veterans. Here is a link to the article and video (different from the interview above): Star Power Behind Honoring Disabled Vets.
An exclusive interview with Gary Sinise will air Sunday (Jan 28th), on Fox and Friends Weekend. The program airs 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on FoxNews.
Gary talked with Andrea Roane of WUSA Channel 9 earlier today about Fisher House and the Lt. Dan Band concert Saturday at the Washington Auto Show to raise funds for that organization. He also talked briefly about OIC. Video of that interview is on-line here.

Note: Not sure how long the video will be available so check it out soon.
CBN News will broadcast an exclusive interview with Gary next week. We’ll post the date and time once we have it. In the meantime, click here for a short piece and video clip from today’s broadcast including a snippet of Gary’s speech earlier today.
Also, Into the Fire, the 90-minute documentary funded and presented by Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, will have an encore presentation on Feb. 11 at 1 p.m. EST on The History Channel.
Sorry for the very late notice — it wasn’t listed when I checked yesterday — but C-SPAN’s listings now show Gary’s appearance at the National Press Club at 1:00 pm eastern today. Yes, that’s about 10 minutes from now. Again, sorry! It really wasn’t there yesterday. (These listings have not been pushed to Tribune and other guide services, as far as I can tell — TiVo listings showing “US Senate” for that time.)
The good news is that CSPAN seems to have an extensive video library on their site, so hopefully this will turn up there, or on the Press Club’s site. We’ll let you know if we find it. Again, sorry for the late notice.
Gary’s upcoming National Press Club luncheon will apparently be used for announcing a $65 million initiative for a disabled veterans’ memorial. More here at the Marine Corps Times.
Also, there’s a quick mention here about Gary’s appearance at a special prom for teens suffering/recovering from kidney disease.
Gary is scheduled to appear on CNN’s Larry King Live tomorrow night (Saturday, January 13) to talk about the Fisher House charity. Fisher House provides cost-effective housing near military and VA medical centers, allowing family members to be near wounded or ill military personnel or veterans while they are hospitalized.
The Lt. Dan Band is scheduled to perform a benefit for Fisher House on January 27 at the Washington Convention Center. Details here.
Larry King airs at 9 pm EST/6pm PST, and is repeated several times Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Check here or in your local listings for times.
(Thanks to Bob for the tip!)
According to the National Press Club, Gary is scheduled to appear as a lunch speaker on January 26. The topic is listed as “TBA” but given the Press Club’s interests, I expect it will focus on Gary’s veterans’/USO/OIC work.
These lunches are often televised by C-SPAN, so we will keep an eye out and let you know when it’s scheduled to air.
The Daily Herald reports on a phone interview a high school freshman honors class conducted with Gary about Of Mice and Men. Even better, you can listen to the entire chat — there’s a link to a downloadable mp3 file at the bottom of the article.
(Thanks very much to Bettina for the tip!)
