Grateful American

by Gary Sinise

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

Years ago, I watched Forest Gump. Not for Tom Hanks and the amazing character he played, but for Lt. Dan. As a teenager, I had a major crush on Lieutenant Dan and all he his role entailed. Of course, that probably had a lot to do with the amazing actor behind him, Gary Sinise. Ever since then, I have followed Sinise's happenings in the news and all his acting roles. So, when this book was available to review, I jumped at the chance to read it. 

As the daughter of a retired Senior Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, I am very passionate about our men and women who serve. I am passionate about remembering them if they have fallen, honoring them if they are veterans or wounded warriors, thanking them if they are currently serving so that I, and my family, may stay free. Gary Sinise is a fellow passionate person about the same things. He includes many happenings in this book, from Oswald and Kennedy to the Wound Warriors. He shows us, as Americans, the way it should be. The way the world can be a better place if we just do a little more to be grateful Americans. 

The emotion with with Sinise wrote this book is felt as a reader. He's a grateful man, not forgetting who he is, or where he came from. He's a grateful man, making sure that others know just how thankful he is. He is a grateful man, who makes sure that the children of the fallen soldiers are not forgotten. This man is a man of God, and one who definitely has me wanting to keep this 5 star book forever!  Not one to love memoirs, this book had me smiling, crying and thanking Sinise for his amazing heart and spiritual guidance with this book! I definitely suggest you grab a copy of this book and be moved by the memorable words of this talented man.
