Twenty-five years ago, Gary Sinise played the role of Lt. Dan Taylor in the blockbuster movie “Forrest Gump.” It transformed his acting career and changed his life. Today, Sinise is an outspoken advocate for America’s military veterans. He’s also the author of “Grateful American: A Journey from Self to Service.” Sinise spoke to The Daily Signal about the book, his acting career, and his passion for helping veterans.

Also on today’s show:

    Thank you. Gary Sinise is a terrific actor, but even more I appreciate his humility and his service and devotion to our troops.
