Fellow American,
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, as we mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion,
the American Veterans Center is bringing the Parade BACK in full
force, with 5,000+ participants marching down Constitution Avenue
before a crowd of 250,000+ in-person, as well as a T.V. broadcast
that reaches 100 million households around the country.
Fellow American, 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] )

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] )
If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to give back to those
who have given so much for our freedom, this is one of the best
ways you could possibly do it.
And for a special group of veterans, this might be one of the
last chances we get.
You see, with each year that goes by, we lose more and more of
our World War II veterans, and for the few we have remaining,
traveling to Washington, D.C. for the parade is difficult.
I am honored to say that we will have several World War II
veterans with us for this year’s parade... but I don’t know how
many more years we’ll have that precious opportunity.
So this year, as we mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day
invasion and what might be the last chance these great men have
to gather together, I encourage you to help us honor them while
we still have them with us.
And 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 that while we can never do enough to express our
gratitude to our defenders, veterans, and first responders, we
can always do a little more.
Fellow American, 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] )
