John,
It’s Gary Sinise here.
You may know me from my roles in movies like Apollo 13and The Green Mile or
the CBS television series CSI: NY – but it was in 1994 playing the role of Lt.
Dan in Forrest Gump that changed my life.
It inspired my enduring connection to our defenders, veterans, and first
responders.
I am now back again this year as Honorary Grand Marshal for the National
Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of
this important event.
This year will be a remembrance like no other, as we commemorate the 80th
anniversary of victory in World War II and the 250th birthdays of the U.S.
Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.

John, the National Memorial Day Parade is ENTIRELY FUNDED by private
contributions, including from generous Americans like you. Will you help chip
in today to help support the Parade with a gift of $25, $50, $75, $150, or more?
<[link removed]>
The National Memorial Day Parade costs a fraction of other major public events
to put on each year, but its significance is miles apart.
Every dollar that’s contributed by a generous American like you makes a
difference for in our effort to honor those who sacrificed for our country.
American Veterans Center does not take ANY federal funding for this event. It
is fundedentirely by private citizens like you.
Please join me in support of the National Memorial Day Parade with a gift of
$25, $50, $75, $150, $250, $500, or more right now.

If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to give back to those who have given
so much for our freedom, this is one of the best possible ways you could do it.
WWII veterans were a key part of the first parade when it was revived in 2005,
as they have been every year since for the last 20 years.
But this may be the last year we have the opportunity to have these brave men
and women with us for the parade.
That's why we are making a concerted effort to ensure these veterans are at
this year's National Memorial Day Parade to honor them one last time.
Support the American Veterans Center

And no matter how much you can give to this important cause, I want to ask
something additional of you.
Come to the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. Visit a local
veterans’ cemetery. Send a note to a family of the fallen. Or simply take a
quiet moment to think about the men and women who gave their lives to defend
OUR country.
John, thank you for your support of America’s heroes, and please – if you’re
able, make a gift to fund the National Memorial Day Parade right now during its
20th anniversary.
