Gary Sinise

i went back again did got involved again then it moved to dallas because american airlines got involved started providing all the transportation for the kids to go to disneyland now we're going to move it to dallas which is the hub of american airlines and they have a lot of connections at dallas and all this stuff so we're going to move the event to dallas we're going to do it in dallas for nine years it was in dallas

And I brought my band back every year to play for the kids and to help them through.

It was growing.

A lot of families had lost loved ones.

I have a great relationship with Disney World, narrating that story.

Park ride and being in the movies and all that stuff.

Narrating at Disney World a show called The Candlelight Processional.

I was doing that every year at Disney World.

So I said, the next thing we should do with these kids is take them to Disney World.

And so I went to Disney and had a meeting with them and we got them on board.

We're going to bring a thousand kids there.

We're going to have this Disney on board, right?

So after that, it was going to cost a lot more money.

So we brought it into the Gary Sinise Foundation as a program of the Gary Sinise Foundation.

So we have very vigorous programs to support the families of our fallen heroes.

That particular program is really focused on the children

but we support the spouses and, you know, we support parents of fallen heroes.

We're getting involved in, you know, we're involved in so many different things.

In fact, today, we have, well, we call it a city adventure going.

You might've seen the balloons out in the hallway and everything like that.
