Gary Sinise


Tonight at BAS!!! Gary Sinise of Lt. Dan Band came to the school to kick off our 4th of July celebrations.
We thought it would be a mob scene with buses coming up from SHAPE, and Dad had to go to a church meeting in Breda NL, so just Steve and I went, and arrived just about 10 minutes before they started....and went straight to the front!
It was FABULOUS!!! We heard songs all the way from Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Beyonce, Lynryd Skynryd and the closing song was "I am proud to be an American, God Bless the USA".
I guess Gary financed the whole tour and is going throughout Europe and will end up in Iraq and Afghanistan. They kept thanking the troops for all their service. It was really heart warming.
But man, can their band play! And man, did I have fun dancing. For those who know Emily Moseman, she started a train and paraded everyone across the stage! (I didn't do that, so relax)
Steve met him at NSA and got this picture signed by Gary. He was asked what it was like to act with Tom Hanks, "cool". Steve asked him what he earned. "more than I'm worth!"
We were all impressed with his talent and his willingness to share it with all of us!

You are the coolest mom! I am glad that you and Steve got to rock out. Live music is always so fun.
