Gary Sinise -- Celebrity, Great American and Patriot

Kudos to Gary Sinise for using his influence to promote a long-term strategy of freedom in Iraq. Together with Laura Hillenbrand (author of "Seabiscuit"), this forward-thinking actor created "Operation Iraqi Kids" a non-profit organization that addresses the critical educational needs of Iraqi children -- the people who will carry the torch of freedom in future years.

Unlike most America-bashing celebrities, Gary understands the importance of helping today's Iraqi children develop into that country's leaders of tomorrow, thus ensuring that our Soldiers' sacrifices were not in vain.

He's restored my faith that at least one person in Hollywood gets it. Wonder if any of the Tinseltown Hyprocrites who claim to be so concerned with innocent Iraqis will actually put their money where their mouth is by donating school supplies. Not as much fun for them as maligning President Bush, but definitely more constructive.
