Grateful American
Author: Gary Sinise
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1400208130
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Discover the moving, entertaining, never-before-told story of how one man found his calling: to see that those who defend this country and its freedoms are never forgotten. As a kid in suburban Chicago, Gary Sinise was more interested in sports and rock 'n' roll than reading or schoolwork. But when he impulsively auditioned for a school production of West Side Story, he found his true purpose--or so it seemed. Within a few years, Gary and a handful of friends created what became one of the most exciting and important new theater companies in America. From its humble beginnings in a suburban Chicago church basement and eventual move into the city, the Steppenwolf Theatre Company launched a series of groundbreaking productions, igniting Gary's career along with those of John Malkovich, Joan Allen, Gary Cole, Laurie Metcalf, Jeff Perry, John Mahoney, and countless others. Television and film came calling soon after, and Gary starred in Of Mice and Men (which he also directed) and The Stand before taking the role that would change his life in unforeseeable ways: Lieutenant Dan in the Academy Award-winning Forrest Gump. The military community's embrace of the character of the disabled veteran was matched only by the depth of Gary's realization that America's defenders had not received all the honor, respect, and gratitude their sacrifices deserve. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, this became Gary's new calling. Grateful American, now a New York Times bestseller, documents Gary's dedication to working tirelessly on behalf of those who serve this country, sharing stories about how he has: Entertained more than a half million troops around the world playing bass guitar with his Lt. Dan Band Raised funds on behalf of veterans Founded the Gary Sinise Foundation with a mission to serve and honor America's defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need Grateful American is the moving, entertaining, profoundly gripping story of how one man found his life's work: to see that those who defend this country and its freedoms are never forgotten. Praise for Grateful American: "Gary Sinise writes as he lives, and as the artist and actor he has always been: with American authenticity, purpose, and a conviction that is inseparable from his nature." --Tom Hanks, actor and filmmaker "No entertainer alive today has visited and performed more for our troops at veterans hospitals and military bases all over the world than Gary Sinise. For years his foundation has built 'smart homes' for our troops that were severely wounded in combat. The book is called Grateful American, and I promise that after you read it you will be grateful for what Gary has accomplished and contributed to our country. He's truly one of a kind." --Clint Eastwood, actor, director, producer, and musician

Pages : 282
Book Description
Three planets exactly the same size floated through space. They were alive. And they fed off the light of the stars. When they discovered a new star, they left their orbit for the energy of greater stars. Millennia passed, and new stars burst into existence. And the planets moved slowly toward the new stars like moths to a flame, sometimes taking decades or centuries to arrive. Planets were knocked out of the orbits they held. These planets were not alive, but the inhabitants were. Many lives were lost as a result of this planetary movement, their populations scattered to the stars. The strongest beings crafted a plan. They lured the planets out to the farthest arm of a galaxy. They made the illusion of a new star, brighter and stronger than any other in the galaxy. But the planets eventually came to realize they had been fooled, and war broke out. The planets took the DNA of races they had encountered and combined them to breed an army. The planets combined their energy to send their consciousness, which created wormholes through space, sucking in creatures from other planets. The war was never ending. Eventually, there was a great cataclysm. Stars exploded, and black holes were formed. An entire arm of the galaxy collapsed. The three planets were hurled into space. Their very cores froze. They ceased all consciousness. They wandered the darkest parts of the universe asleep. They traveled so far that they lapsed in and out of time. They awoke orbiting a young star, hidden and surrounded by millions of dead planets. They had been carried into a dead galaxy with one surviving star. It was young and small, but it was strong. The planets slowly regained consciousness and realized that their surfaces had been colonized by another race from across the stars. This race was strong and violent. They liked this race. They wanted to use them for revenge on the beings who tricked them. But these samples had flaws. They had sicknesses and diseases that made them unfit. The planets needed fresh samples.
