USO and troop favorite Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band will be spreading the “Old Glory” cheer at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state on July 4 and at Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Wash., on July 5.
The Emmy Award-winning actor and his 12-member cover band are on tour throughout 2011 and have performed for more than 25,000 service men and women and their families during their first 11 USO concerts. Their stop to JBLM is part of that base’s free “Freedom Fest” that includes a carnival, food and games. Their concert at Naval Base Kitsap is also free.
The actor is officially launching his Gary Sinise Foundation on July 4, to honor the Nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.
The foundation will provide and support unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen and build communities.
