My Friend,

In 2011, when we officially launched the Gary Sinise Foundation with only a few staff members and a handful of supporters, it was always my hope to create a service organization that our fellow citizens would trust as a reliable means to give back to our defenders and their families. The foundation grew from a long time commitment to a mission of serving and honoring their needs, and was a natural expansion of this commitment. All these years later, I am humbled and grateful that GSF has earned the trust of so many amazing individuals and companies who share a commitment to our nation's heroes, and I am so touched that you are considering our foundation as a recipient in your legacy planning. Legacy is more than a testament to our past. It's a beacon for the future, guiding the way for others to follow. By including the Gary Sinise Foundation in your legacy planning, you are not only honoring your life and values but also ensuring that our service members, veterans, and their families will receive the support and recognition they deserve for generations to come.

The impact of your legacy contribution cannot be overstated. It will provide critical support to our programs, from building custom homes for severely wounded heroes to providing essential mental health resources and educational opportunities. Your commitment helps to ensure that our nation's defenders and their loved ones know they are appreciated and will never be forgotten.

I offer my heartfelt thanks for your consideration to join us. Together, we can build a lasting legacy of service and gratitude, making a profound difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Your grateful pal,
