Gary Sinise Keeps Promise To Triple Amputee Afghanistan Vet

Winner of both the Emmy Award and the Golden Globe, the man best known for his lead role in TV’s “CSI: New York” and his Oscar nominated work in “Forrest Gump,” actor, musician and humanitarian Gary Sinise is keeping his promise to a severely wounded Marine.

Cpl. Joshua Benjamin “J.B.” Kerns (USMC Medically Retired) of nearby Ararat, Virginia, lost both his legs below the knee as well as his right arm below the elbow during combat operations in Afghanistan while the then 21-year-old Marine was serving his third combat tour of duty in “The ‘Stan” as that nation is referred to by Marines.

In an Associated Press article via Fox News, Sinise promised J.B. that a benefit concert scheduled on March 31st by Sinise’s “Lt. Dan Band” would help raise money to construct a “smart home” for the wounded warrior.-[source]
