Gary Sinise, who played Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump, has dedicated his life to giving back to veterans and their families.
A recent thank-you video from celebrities and veterans brought the actor to tears.
Sinise has spent the last four decades supporting active duty service men and women, veterans, first responders, their families and caregivers, and those in need.
His foundation, Gary Sinise Foundation, raises $30 million a year for veterans.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done in the name of love? I thought my secret trip to Italy as a Christmas gift followed up by a surprise proposal atop a hill overlooking Florence was pretty crazy high up the love-o-meter until I read this:
“Fell in love with my gondolier, 10 years my senior, while on my birthday gondola ride in Venice on my 33rd birthday, while sitting beside my Spouse of 9 years. Got divorced within 4 weeks of getting ‘home’ and I packed up and went back to Venice with only his email address, a photo and his promise to meet me at the airport. Which he did. We only managed to disentangle after 9 intense years of crazy love, lots of air miles and the tears which became too many.”

Amanda Palmer has a new album out March 8 titled “There Will Be No Intermission”. She just released the 2nd pre-release for the record “Voicemail for Jill”. Here’s what she has to say about the new song:
“i have been trying for decades to write a song about abortion that actually does justice to the experience. it took this long....but i did it. i’m more proud of this song than almost anything i’ve ever penned. but...if the response on social media just in the past few hours means anything...i think the world is more ready than usual to hear these kinds of stories.
it’s not an easy listen. i suggest listening in a quiet place. ”
Being inspired by the nature, Jordane Tumarinson composes his second album on the theme of flight. He retraces in metaphor the question of the one who seeks his way, until the moment when it is necessary to launch. From introspection to action, the album is a call to the realization of one’s dreams.
