🎉 Surprise! We just couldn't wait any longer.
Mac Sinise Resurrection & Revival: Part 3 is available NOW!
Just recently, we had the opportunity to host a special listening party, bringing together many of the talented musicians, family members, and collaborators who helped make this album possible. It was a truly meaningful evening as we gathered to hear some of the music, view some of the new videos and celebrate the music and legacy of Mac Sinise.
Executive Produced by Gary Sinise and featuring a moving collection of music written by his late son, Mac Sinise, in partnership with many of his pals, this album is a heartfelt tribute to Mac's creativity, passion, and enduring spirit. Many of the songs began as melodies and musical ideas Mac recorded and saved over the years. With the help of family, friends, and talented collaborators, those pieces were brought to life and transformed into the album you can hear today.
Even more meaningful, 100% of album sales benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation and our mission to serve our nation's defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families - just as Mac wanted.

Happy 25th birthday to one of my all-time favorite albums, Inside Out by @trishayearwood. I love this album sooooo much!
Trisha, if you ever want to do a show where you perform this album from start to finish, I'm ok with that. 😍😁❤️
On May 7, 2026, it was an honor to welcome U.S. Army Captain (Ret.) Leslie Nicole Smith to her brand new specially adapted smart home built by the Gary Sinise Foundation.
I have known Leslie for over 20 years and watched her face incredible challenges during, and since her military service, including the loss of her leg due to a blood infection contracted while serving in Bosnia 2001-2002, and also much of her eyesight. She is legally blind. Yet she continues to live with remarkable strength, positivity, and a deep commitment to helping other veterans and their families.
She is an inspiration to so many of us, and I’m grateful we could provide a home that will support her for years to come. Welcome home, Leslie.
Today, we were honored to celebrate U.S. Captain (Ret.) Leslie Smith as she moves into her mortgage-free, specially adapted smart home built by the Gary Sinise Foundation.
After the attacks of September 11, Leslie answered the call to serve, deploying as a public affairs officer during Operation Joint Forge. Less than a year into her deployment, she began experiencing severe pain in her leg, a warning sign of a life-threatening condition.
What doctors discovered was devastating: a growing blood clot had broken off into thousands more, spreading throughout her body to vital organs, placing her on imminent death protocol with just hours to live. Rushed to Walter Reed Medical Center, Leslie fought for her life through countless procedures. Ultimately, she lost her left leg, and the lasting effects of her injuries also took much of her eyesight.
Through it all, Leslie never lost her determination. During her recovery, she found a new purpose - supporting fellow service members and their families as they navigated their own journeys of healing. Her resilience and unwavering positivity have continued to inspire those around her.
As Leslie shared, "This is pure freedom. I feel like I have been reborn and rebuilt."
This home will provide Leslie with the accessibility, independence, and comfort she deserves as she continues her mission of service in a new way.
Welcome home, Leslie, and thank you for your extraordinary strength and sacrifice. 💙
