Friend,

It’s Gary Sinise here.

You may know me from my roles in movies like Apollo 13and The
Green Mile or the CBS television series CSI: NY – but it was in
1994 playing the role of Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump that changed my
life and inspired my enduring connection to our defenders,
veterans, and first responders.

I've served as an Honorary Grand Marshal for the National
Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. nearly every year since
American Veterans Center revived it in 2005.

Now, I’m grateful to again serve as an Honorary Grand Marshal on
the 20th anniversary of this important event.

This year will be a remembrance like no other, as we commemorate
the 80th anniversary of victory in World War II and the 250th
birthdays of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.

Friend, the National Memorial Day Parade is ENTIRELY 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.

But I want to reiterate that American Veterans Center does not
take ANY federal funding for this event. It is funded entirely by
private citizens like you who want to honor those who have
sacrificed so much for our country.

Your support of the American Veterans Center not only helps the
Parade, but also supports great programs like:

* Record hundreds of oral histories of veterans from World War II
to Today before we lose these stories forever.
* Hold our National Youth Summit which allows young students a
chance to hear first-hand from veterans from WWII, Korea, and
Vietnam.

* Produce veteran focused T.V. documentaries and specials that
remind Americans 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
possible ways you could 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.

WWII veterans were a key part of the first parade when it was
revived in 2005, as they have been every year since for the last
20 years.

But this may be the last year we have the opportunity to have
these brave men and women with us for the parade.

That's why we are making a concerted effort to ensure these
veterans are at this year's National Memorial Day Parade to honor
them one last time.

So this year, as we mark the 80th anniversary of victory in
Europe and Japan to end World War II – and the 250th
anniversaries of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps – I encourage
you to help us honor these brave veterans 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 – not just this momentous year of military
milestones, but every year – please join me in honoring those who
made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

Come to the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, 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.

Friend, thank you for your support of America’s heroes, and
please – if you’re able, make a gift to fund the National
Memorial Day Parade right now during its 20th anniversary. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Gary Sinise
