The "CSI: New York" star, who's headlined the CBS series since (believe it or not) 2004 now, is devoting a lot of time and attention to The Gary Sinise Foundation, which officially launches July 4 with the mission to "Serve Our Nation by Honoring Our Defenders, Veterans, First Responders, Their Families and Those in Need."
As part of that mission, Sinise's foundation helped raise money to build The Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance in KeySpan Park -- honoring those who both risked and gave their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks -- and helped raise funds for The Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, County, Va., dedicated to the 184 people killed in attack on The Pentagon on Sept. 11.

"CSI: New York" star Gary Sinise will launch The Gary Sinise Foundation on July 4 in conjunction with a documentary about his band, The Lt. Dan Band, which has entertained US military personnel worldwide.
The launch of Sinise's foundation will coincide with the release of "Lt. Dan Band: For The Common Good," Jonathan Flora's documentary about Sinise's band (named after his "Forrest Gump" character), which has entertained military related organizations worldwide (among other groups). Flora's doc will be released online for 30 days (ltdanbandmovie.com); when someone streams the movie, one out of every four bucks will go to The Gary Sinise Foundation to support its many programs (including relief for wounded warriors, school supplies for children where US troops are deployed and scholarships for veterans).
Sinise, by the way, is also the spokesman for the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial, which broke ground last November in Washington, DC.
