Grateful American By Gary Sinise review


Grateful American: A Journey from Self to ServiceTitle:  Grateful American: A Journey from Self to Service

Author: Gary Sinise, Marcus Brotherton
 
Chapters: 17

Pages: 280

Genre: Memoir

Rating: 5 Stars

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.
