Sinise: Their Sacrifice Is Not Taken For Granted
1 min readCSI: New York actor Gary Sinise (Mac Taylor) takes time to honor fallen American soldiers.
CSI Files previously reported that Sinise would co-host the 21st annual National Memorial Day Concert with Joe Mantegna (Criminal Minds) live from the West Lawn of the US Capitol in Washington, DC on Sunday, May 30 from 8:00-9:30pm EST. “There’s usually about 200,000 people sitting on the lawn in front of the capital,” the actor told Fox News. “It’s a great way to take a minute out on Memorial Day to remember those who sacrifice for us. Memorial Day for many is just a BBQ or a ballgame, but it really is a significant holiday and it’s there for a reason. It’s my pleasure to take a moment out for those who do this for us.”
“I’m very very grateful that we have men and women willing to serve our country especially in such a dangerous and difficult time,” Sinise continued. “I know how hard they work and how difficult these deployments are on them and their families. I want them to know from me that service and sacrifice is not taken for granted and I appreciate the freedom that I have and I know where it came from and it’s from our defenders who ensure that we all can go about our daily lives with safety and security.”
