“As a veteran and filmmaker working in Hollywood, it is a privilege to be able to support our troops and first responders through our medium. The spirit of service and commitment to the greater good has always served as an example to me.
At its core, this movie is about remembering those who are willing to lay down their lives for others and those who are left behind. Gary Sinise is a man who has chosen to remember and to honor. Gary truly is the Bob Hope of this generation.”
Jonathan currently serves on the Advisory Board for the GI Film Festival, formed to honor films that celebrate the successes and sacrifices of the American military.
Reviews:
"A wonderful and inspiring chronicle of Gary and his fellow musicians, as they journey across America and the world.

It's a clear reminder of my friend, Gary Sinise's talent and character. He's one of our 'good guys.'" — Ron Howard, Hollywood director, producer, actor"What a compelling piece of work... very moving!
