If Gary Sinise
wasn't one of my favorite actors before reading this book he is now. Surprisingly
however I have only seen one of his movies Forrest Grump and only one of his TV
shows. Reading his memoir is easy to see that he is a one of
a kind actor who understands that the reason he can do the job he
does is because of our Military men and women as well as our first responders.
Who defender and protect us on a daily basis.
That this man
chose to give his character the background of a Marine who had survived Beirut
in order to bring attention to a tragedy that affected many Marines, their
family and friends. Because it is something that most people don't realize
happened. As the daughter of a Marine who lost brothers in arms
there I am grateful that this actor chose to give them a voice.
Unlike most
celebrity memoirs Gary doesn't really boast about what he's done. Instead he
shares about what his frame has allowed him to do for others.
This is one
celebrity memoir that is worth the read. I do recommend having tissues when
your read it.
I received a copy of this
book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a
positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
