Dear Friends,

The past three years have been a remarkable journey. With your support, we've made a positive impact in the lives of our nation's defenders and their families.

On behalf of so many grateful heroes as well as the entire Gary Sinise Foundation, we offer you our deepest thanks. These accomplishments simply would not have been possible without our supporters.

God bless you.
