Hollywood Television’s Ron Jacobson recently shared this report about Gary and his humanitarian efforts with the Lt. Dan Band and Operation International Children.  Recorded just before Gary’s trip to Afghanistan last year, the video includes footage from the band’s performance at the CSI:NY mid-season bash and comments from Gary about playing with the band and his work with USO and OIC.  

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.

Thanks to youtuber SJulianYZ125 quality video of the Lt. Dan Band show at Kunsan on June 24th is available.  A few selections are embedded below inlcuding a performance of “Baba O’Riley.”

As some of you may have already known, Gary attended a USO function hosted by Hollywood Reporter and Editor Elizabeth Guider in Beverly Hills last month. Video of Gary speaking at this event recently became available and is embedded below:

Some terrific still photographs of Gary at this event are available at CSI:Fanatic click here.

And while we are on the topic of Gary’s commitment to the USO, he and the Lt. Dan Band will soon be off on their USO Summer Tour (June 21st through July 5th) to perform for troops in Korea and Okinawa. We wish the band a safe journey and hope the men and woman in uniform have a fantastic time at the shows!

Ramsay Warton of KBMG9 interviewed Gary (back in January) when he and the Lt. Dan Band were in Hawaii to entertain the troops.  Ramsay chatted with Gary while the group rehearsed for the January 31, 2009 concert at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.  The Lt. Dan Band also played Hickam Air Force Base the next night.

There are 2 video segments with Gary and another with co-founder of the Lt. Dan Band, Kimo Williams. Williams lived in Hawaii throughout his teens and first dabbled with the guitar while attending Leilehau High School.
