It is one of the great honors of my life to serve on the board of directors of the Gary Sinise Foundation. From the early days of GSF, I've witnessed Gary's tireless and unwavering dedication to the men and women who serve our nation. As a proud daughter and granddaughter of veterans, I hold deep gratitude for those who sacrifice to preserve and protect our freedom. The opportunity to support our military, veterans, first responders, and their families alongside Gary and his incredible team is a responsibility and calling I am privileged to answer.
