Tonight at 9pm and midnight ET, the Fox News Channel airs a one-hour video diary of Gary Sinise thanking our troops in Iraq. The L.A. Times has more:
The actor will be featured in “On the Road in Iraq with Our Troops and Gary Sinise,” a documentary airing on Fox News at 6 p.m. PST Saturday. Culled from 26 hours of footage taken of a trip Sinise made to Iraq in July, the hour-long special traces his encounters with American soldiers across the country.It was the fourth trip to the war zone for Sinise, who started traveling to U.S. bases with the USO after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He said he agreed to let his friend filmmaker Jonathan Flora shoot footage of his trip last year to put a spotlight on the thousands of troops who remain in combat.
“Iraq is off the front page now and has been replaced with other things, so unless you are personally attached or involved with someone who has sacrificed, who is serving in the military, then you’re probably not too aware,” Sinise said in an interview.
Fox also plans to release the special on DVD.
