Actor Gary Sinise knows what it feels like not to have legs, or at least he can imagine what that would be like. Nominated for The Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1994 for his role as Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump, the role must have stuck with him, although his legs were digitally removed.
He subsequently founded Gary Sinise Foundation.
“Freedom and security are precious gifts that we, as Americans, should never take for granted. We must do all we can to extend our hand in times of need to those who willingly sacrifice each day to provide that freedom and security. While we can never do enough to show our gratitude to our nation’s defenders, we can always do a little more” -GARY SINISE
