Gary Sinise is my hero because he started a fundraiser called Operation Iraqi Children (OIC). He performs in concerts to raise money for builders to build smart homes for wounded soldiers. Lastly he started a band, named after his role in "Forest Gump", which performs with the USO (United Service Organizations). The reasons that I think makes a hero is that they are nice, caring, and donate, and Gary Sinise fits all of those characteristics.

The first reason why Gary Sinise is my hero is because he performs in concerts in a band, named after his role in Forest Gump, called the Lt. Dan Band. The Lt. Dan band performs all around the world for wounded soldiers. The concert that he performs in raises money to build smart homes for wounded soldiers. Smart homes are homes for soldiers with disabilities so that a push of button on an app on the Ipad whatever they want to happen happens. Gary Sinise to me is the most caring the person in the world.

Another reason why Gary Sinise is my hero is because he started a fundraiser called OIC (Operation Iraqi Children). Operation Iraqi Children is about people donating school supply kits, toys, books, medicine and other medical stuff. All of this medicine, supply kits go to hospital and schools that need medicine and school supply kits. OIC has already donated 300,000 thousand school supply and hospital needs to hospitals that need them and schools that need them.

The last reason why Gary Sinise is my hero is because he cares for other people and did that by starting a fundraiser called OIC. He is also the founder of the program. At first he just wanted to be for the U.S.A but then he expanded it to Pakistan, Iraq, and Panama, etc. The Lt. Dan Band performs all around the world for our troops so they feel like they are in the U.S.A, not in some other country in the world fighting for our freedom. To me that is a really nice thing to do.  The Lt. Dan band and the USO raised so much money for builders to build smart homes for wounded soldiers to have a nice and a better life. That to me is a really nice thing to do.

In conclusion Gary Sinise is my hero because he is nice, caring, and shows that he is not self-centered by donating school supplies, medicine, and toys. The program in which he donates is called OIC (Operation Iraqi Children). During OIC, which he is the one who started the program. He donates medical supplies, books, school supply kit, and toys to Pakistan, the U.S.A, Panama, etc. He also performs in concerts to make troops feel like they are in the U.S.A, at their own homes. When he performs in concerts he raises money so builders can build smart homes for wounded soldiers that have fought in a war and have been seriously injured. That is why Gary Sinise is my because he is the nicest person ever because he donates, he cares, and he is nice.
