Hi, I’m Gary Sinise.
You may know me as an actor, but my life’s work has been to honor and support our nation's veterans, first responders, wounded heroes, families of the fallen, and those enduring invisible wounds. I launched Gary Sinise Foundation to expand that mission.
I hope to see you on this journey. Join us.

A New Episode of GSF Podcast Has Dropped!
U.S. Navy Corpsman Doc Jacobs was serving on the front lines in Iraq when an IED explosion changed his life forever. Against all odds, Doc survived devastating injuries and the loss of both legs. But he refused to stop serving. From becoming the first amputee corpsman to redeploy, to pursuing Major League Baseball tryouts, to honoring fallen heroes through battlefield recovery missions, Doc’s story redefines courage, perseverance, and purpose. In this powerful conversation, Doc opens up about the day he was injured, his long road to recovery, and how the Gary Sinise Foundation gave him a home built for healing. He shares what it means to truly live a life of service—long after the uniform comes off.
