Gary Sinise performed with his Lt. Dan Band in Nashville, Tenn., to close out a weekend of events honoring 250 graduates from the Snowball Express program as part of the Gary Sinise Foundation, which benefits children and spouses of fallen military members and first responders. "The music is really just part of the overall mission of supporting our veterans and military families and first responders," Sinise told Fox News Digital. "And so when I play, that's what I play for." Sinise recalled the overwhelming desire for Snowball students, who range in age from 6 to 18, to reconnect with each other after graduating from the course.

Snowball serves to hold space and support for healing while families grieve their fallen heroes and also create new memories as they move forward.

The "Forrest Gump" star, who earned an Academy Award nomination and named his band after his character in the film, created the foundation 12 years ago as a way to stay involved on "multiple fronts," from helping build adapted homes for wounded service members to community outreach and education.
