Gary Sinise Foundation

On this #MedalofHonorMonday, we honor U.S. Air Force Maj. Bernard Francis “Bernie” Fisher for his extraordinary heroism during the Vietnam War. When a fellow airman crashed under heavy fire at A Shau Valley, Major Fisher made the courageous decision to land his plane in the midst of the battle to rescue him, despite extreme danger. Taking 19 bullets to his aircraft, he successfully saved his comrade. His actions reflect the highest traditions of bravery and selflessness. We salute you!

Today marks the 249th birthday of the U.S. Navy, and we are honored to celebrate the legacy of bravery, dedication, and sacrifice that our sailors have demonstrated for nearly two and a half centuries. As we honor all those who have served and continue to serve in the Navy, let’s take a moment to reflect on their unwavering commitment to defending our nation. From all of us at the Gary Sinise Foundation, Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy! ?????

As he and his family prepare for their next chapter in Idaho, we are honored to be building him a specially adapted house to restore his independence. We can't wait to welcome him home!

It's #WarriorWednesday, and today we are honoring U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Samantha "FORCE" Colombo! Samantha is an inspiring pilot with a rich family legacy in the U.S. Air Force. Raised in a military family, she was initially reluctant to join the Air Force, but embraced her path when she reflected on how much she loved being a part of the military community. From soaring over Oklahoma in her first T-38 flight to becoming an F-16 pilot, Samantha continues to break barriers - literally and figuratively! As she says, "Don't let doubts or fears stop you." Keep flying high, Lt. Colombo! We salute you! ??
