It has been over a quarter of a century since actor and activist Gary Sinise took on the role of Lt. Dan Taylor in “Forrest Gump.” The iconic and memorable role altered the course of Sinise’s career forever and inspired countless veterans.
“I could not have foreseen that the Lt. Dan character would be a character that has a life of its own beyond the movie,” Sinise explained, speaking to the USO back in 2014. “It’s been a blessing and a benefit to be able to have this association with [the] wounded in our military community.”
