Actor Gary Sinise, 63, has written a book in which he chronicles his personal journey from “self to service.” The book, Grateful American, reveals lesser-known details about Sinise’s family connections to the military, the emotional effect of playing “Lieutenant Dan” in 1994 blockbuster movie Forrest Gump, and the extraordinary success of the actor and author’s philanthropy.
Sinise’s passion for giving back to military veterans has seen him dedicate the last four decades of his life to the cause.
