HERO: Actor Gary Sinise Helping to Build Creative Center for American Veterans Suffering From PTSD

Wait 5 sec.

Actor and activist Gary Sinise – Screencap of YouTube video.Gary Sinise is a unique man in Hollywood. The famous actor has spent years dedicated to making life better for American veterans and first responders.Through his own foundation and other organizations, Sinise has raised millions of dollars to buy homes for disabled veterans, provide them with physical and mental help, and just acted as a friend to our military heroes. He has done it all without expecting anything in return. He is a real top-notch guy.Now, he is helping to build a creative center which will be a place for veterans to go if they are suffering from PTSD.Breitbart News reports:[Richard] Casper, 40, a CNN Heroes winner and Elevate Prize Foundation winner, needed more support for the center — “a place to go when the PTSD hits.” Like so many veterans, he said his PTSD, caused by seeing a close friend die on patrol in Iraq, would generally come in the middle of the night, when the only places open are bars and other spaces that can be ”destructive.”He figured a 24-hour center where veterans could engage in music, painting, sculpture, theater and other arts could help. It could “turn all that pain into something beautiful.”…Gary Sinise believes in art’s impactGary Sinise values that impact. The actor, musician and philanthropist had already signed on to donate $1 million through his foundation to help CreatiVets purchase the building. Sinise’s involvement encouraged two other donors to help finalize the purchase.The “CSI: NY” star said he believed in CreatiVets’ work and had already seen a similar program in his hometown of Chicago help veterans process their wartime experiences.“In the military, you’re trained to do serious work to protect our country, right?” Sinise said. “If you’re in the infantry, you’re being trained to kill. You’re being trained to contain any emotion and be strong.”Those skills are important when fighting the enemy, but they also take a toll, especially when veterans aren’t taught how to discuss their feelings once the war is over.“Quite often, our veterans don’t want any help,” Sinise said. “But through art – and with theater as well – acting out what they are going through can be very, very beneficial.”Why can’t more people in Hollywood be like Gary Sinise?How Gary Sinise Is Helping the Nonprofit CreatiVets Build ‘a Place to Go When the PTSD Hits’ https://t.co/duLgzAdxj5— Christian Toto (@HollywoodInToto) November 10, 2025 How Gary Sinise is helping the nonprofit CreatiVets build "a place to go when the PTSD hits" https://t.co/ExvodQrBLW— ConnectingVets (@ConnectingVets) November 10, 2025 America would be better off as a country if more celebrities followed this man’s example.
