Friend,
It’s Gary Sinise here.
You may know me from my roles in movies like Apollo 13 and The
Green Mile or the CBS television series CSI NY— but it was in
1994 and playing the role of Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, that my
life changed and inspired my enduring connection to our
defenders, veterans, and first responders.
This year, I’m honored to again serve as an Honorary Grand
Marshal for the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C.
The National Memorial Day Parade is an event like no other … and
this year, the American Veterans Center is bringing it BACK in
full force, with 5,000+ participants marching down Constitution
Avenue before a crowd of 250,000+ in-person, as well as T.V.
broadcast that reaches 100 million households around the
country.
Friend, the National Memorial Day Parade is PRIMARILY FUNDED by
private contributions, including from generous Americans like
you. Will you help chip in today to help support the Parade with
a gift of $25, $50, $75, $150, or more? ( [link removed] )

When the American Veterans Center first called me 18 years ago
and invited me to the National Memorial Day Parade, I was honored
to join the event to remember our fallen heroes.
The American Veterans Center revived the Parade in 2005 after it
had been dormant for nearly 70 years. And this year, they’re
bringing the Parade back better than ever.
Every American should be proud that generations of our brave
servicemen and servicewomen, from the last of our “Greatest
Generation” heroes of World War II to our veterans from
Afghanistan and Iraq, will get the public thanks for their
service that they deserve this year.
But I know that the defenders and families of the fallen who will
join me in the National Memorial Day Parade will be thinking of
their friends and loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice for
our country — the brave Americans we honor on Memorial Day.
Sadly, our country is losing hundreds of World War II veterans
each day, so the mission of the National Memorial Day Parade
is more important now than ever — as this year’s event may be the
LAST opportunity for our WWII heroes to commemorate their friends
who never came home.
Please make your most generous contribution of $25, $50, $75,
$150, $250, $500, to support the National Memorial Day Parade and
make it the tribute that our nation’s heroes deserve. ( [link removed] )

The National Memorial Day Parade costs a fraction of other major
public events to put on each year. In fact, the entire
parade costs about as much as just THREE balloons in the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade or TWO floats in the Rose Bowl Parade!
That means that every dollar that’s contributed by a generous
American like you makes a difference for this important event.
Your support of the American Veterans Center not only helps the
Parade, but also supports great programs like:
* Recording hundreds of oral histories of veterans from World War
II to today before we lose these stories forever.
* Holding our National Youth Summit which allows young students a
chance to hear firsthand from veterans from WWII, Korea, and
Vietnam.
* Producing veteran-focused T.V. documentaries and specials that
remind Americans of the price of our freedom.
Please join me in support of the National Memorial Day Parade
with a gift of $25, $50, $75, $150, $250, $500, or more right
now. ( [link removed] )
But no matter how much you can give to this important cause, I
want to ask something additional of you.
On Memorial Day — this year and every year — please join me in
honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
Come to the National Memorial Day Parade in D.C. Visit a local
veterans’ cemetery. Send a note to a family of the fallen. Or
simply take a quiet moment to think about the men and women who
gave their lives to defend OUR country.
I believe while we can never do enough to express our gratitude
to our defenders, veterans, and first responders, we can always
do a little more.
Friend, thank you for your support of America's heroes, and
please — if you're able, make a gift to help fund the National
Memorial Day Parade right now. ( [link removed] )
Sincerely,
Gary Sinise
