During some of the hardest times our family has faced in recent years our faith has truly helped to carry us through. And I've seen what prayer can do in my own life and in the lives of the men and women I've had the privilege to know who serve and sacrifice for our country. That's why I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of @hallowapp American Heroes Challenge, which launched Sunday. Over the next 13 days leading up to the celebration of 250 years of American freedom, we'll reflect on the lives of some extraordinary heroes. Not just the famous names, but the everyday men and women whose faith left a profound mark on this nation. People who understood that freedom isn't free, and that it has to be fought for, protected, and passed on. I love my country. I am grateful to be an American. And I know I don't take it for granted. I'd love for you to join me. Download Hallow for free at https://t.co/oeNDV7XRZK and let's celebrate this great nation with prayer, remembering who we are called to be. God bless. 🙏 #AmericanHeroes #America250 #HallowPartner

Fifteen years ago today, the @GarySiniseFound officially opened for business. One donor, a few staff members, a small two room office on the set of CSI NY, a website with a new logo and a few initial programs, and a lot of running around the country to build support. The goal and mission was simple: to serve the men and women who serve our country and the families who stand beside them. It was my hope that our fellow citizens would come together in support of this objective and I can’t thank all of you enough. Because of your generosity, we've been able to build specially adapted smart homes, support our wounded heroes, strengthen first responder communities, serve families of the fallen, and remind so many Americans that they are never alone. Every life we've touched has been made possible because of people like you. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who has believed in this mission, volunteered their time, shared our story, or made a gift to help us serve others. As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, I'm filled with gratitude for all we've accomplished together and hopeful for all that's still ahead. The need remains, and so does our commitment to those who sacrifice so much for our country. Today, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the McBunch and Jansky families, every gift will be matched up to $650K, doubling your impact. Thank you for standing with me over the last 15 years. I hope you'll join me as we continue this mission of service for many years to come. Donate today at https://t.co/u7xo8O8mJd

Today I am in Washington DC for the celebration tonight at the US Capitol televised on PBS and tomorrow on CBS for America 250. I have the privilege of narrating content for both events. At the moment, I am sitting in my hotel room looking out the window watching our amazing fighter pilots rehearsing their flyover for tomorrow’s 4th of July celebration. I have been on military bases all over the world and seen these jets many times before but experiencing them practicing in the skies over our nation's capital in preparation for our 250th birthday is something quite unique, and special. We live in a great country. It’s been wonderful to see how folks from around the world who have traveled here for the World Cup are enjoying so many of the things that we are so used to here. We have so much to be thankful for, not the least of which are the men and women who defend our country and protect our cities. Those whose service and sacrifice must not be taken for granted. Where would we all be if no one wanted to serve? Over the course of our 250-year history, many sacrifices have been made. Thousands and thousands of our fellow Americans are buried in 26 military cemeteries in foreign lands with many more here at home. Each day at the Gary Sinise Foundation we work diligently to serve and honor these sacrifices by supporting those on active duty, those who have served, and the families that serve with them and have sacrificed alongside them. I have met many over the years and they inspire me each day with their triumphant spirits. America is an evolving idea created by those who chose to fight for independence and freedom against a tyranny. We have inherited that idea, and while there certainly have been many extremely challenging moments in our history, there have been many triumphant ones to celebrate. In this new video of a song called Triumphant, written by my son Mac Sinise and his pal Oliver Schnee, we include a few triumphant shining moments in celebration of America’s 250th Birthday.
