Gary Sinise Wins Patriot Awards for Helping Veterans and Their Families

Gary Sinise Wins Patriot Awards for Helping Veterans and Their Families. The Forrest Gump actor has been helping veterans and their families for decades and recently received the highest honor awarded by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society the Patriot Award.

The Gary Sinise Foundation shared, “Earlier this week at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society bestowed its highest honor, the Patriot Award, upon Gary Sinise for his decades-long service to the nation’s service men and women, veterans, their families, and those in need.”


Sinise has most recently been praised for his over decade long commitment of bringing families of fallen US Troops on a special trip to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL called “The Snowball Express“. The Gary Sinise Foundation helps cover costs for transportation, lodging, food, and fun activities for hundreds of families of fallen soldiers and sailors every year around the holidays, helping them to make new lasting memories together and reminding each and every one of them that they are not alone and they are cared for and loved.

  1. Mr. Sinise thank you for all you do. This award could not bestowed upon a greater Patriot. I have met you twice overseas while you were on a USO tour. A gentleman, humble true and threw. Your sincerity for veterans welfare and quality of life is unsurpassed by none. Thank you and stay Blessed.

  2. Please acknowledge that the honor was received. Gary Sinise did not enter a competition, therefore he did not win it. He received that award for the tremendous amount of support to the troops and veterans. Please update the article to reflect.. Thank you

  3. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Sinise a few years ago at a car show for veterans and active duty. Genuinely humble experience. This man is the definition of a class act. I honestly can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award. It’s about damn time!!
