“On the Road in Iraq With Our Troops and Gary Sinise”

Gary’s video diary coming soon to DVD

On Saturday, January 10th Fox News will air a special report titled On the Road in Iraq with Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band.  According to the promo,  the special is scheduled for 9 p.m. (ET) and will include a video diary of Gary visiting the troops and a segment of the Lt. Dan Band performing a “tribute to the troops.”

On November 15th the Lt. Dan Band performed at the USO Star Spangled Salute held at the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom in Chicago.

Great article with some nice pictures! Thanks to the author for the tip.

Gary’s currently in Europe with the LDB on a USO tour, and will be heading on his own to Iraq for the USO in the next day or two. He’ll be back in the States for Memorial Day weekend, which for Gary will include the GI Film Festival and acting as Grand Marshall for the National Memorial Day Parade.

After that? A well-deserved vacation before returning to the set of CSI:NY. (We hope he has a very relaxing and enjoyable one!)

As you may recall, we’ve been rather skeptical about the Star Trek XI rumors, filing them under “speculation” — we can now confirm that’s all it was. Gary recently confirmed to the Washington Times that his casting as Dr. McCoy was a “bad rumor.” (Oh! Since I have sort-of an excuse to link to this — if you haven’t seen LOL Trek, you really, really should. I haven’t seen anything quite so funny on the Internet in a long time.)

Finally — I can’t seem to resist pointing out that people are actually still asking this question.

There’s a nice column today in the Orange County (California) Register about Gary’s USO work and his unswerving support for serving troops and their families.

Military newspaper Stars & Stripes has a few details about the LDB’s summer USO tour. They’ll be playing five shows in Germany: Spangdahlem (May 8th), Hohenfels (May 9), Ansbach (May 10), Stuttgart (May 11) and Ramstein (May 14). They also have one performance scheduled for Belgium, on May 12 in Mons.

Coverage of the LDB’s performance in Hawaii, including several pictures, can be found at the Honolulu Advertiser and KGMB-9.

(Thanks to those who’ve left a Guestbook entry thus far — see the prior post — as an experiment, it’s going really well!)

• The Fort Leavenworth Lamp has an article about Gary’s recent visit and his work with Operation Iraqi Children.
• The USO reports that Gary will be in Hawaii this weekend with the LDB.
• Our co-obsessives friends over at the livejournal community sinise_daily have scans of the recent interview Gary did for Guideposts magazine. (If you have a livejournal, this is a terrific community to watch or join!)
