Actor and activist Gary Sinise will speak at the Freed-Hardeman Benefit Dinner Friday, Dec. 4, 2020, to support students through scholarships.
Sinise has been an advocate of America’s servicemen and women for more than 30 years, beginning in the early 1980s with his support of Vietnam veterans groups. His portrayal of Lt. Dan Taylor in “Forrest Gump” formed a bond with the military community. After participating in several handshake tours in 2003, Sinise formed the Lt. Dan Band and began entertaining troops around the world. The band presents approximately 50 shows annually for military bases, charities, and fundraisers supporting veterans and troops.
General admission tickets are $150 each.
