Gary Sinise talks about supporting veterans, 9/11 and performing at Naval Station Mayport

Award-winning actor Gary Sinise, known for his roles in Forrest Gump and Apollo 13 , spoke with WOKV’s Chase Bunker at Naval Station Mayport on Friday, October 16, about his work supporting veterans, his memories of September 11, and his passion for giving back to military families. Sinise visited the naval station with his Lt. Dan Band for a performance honoring military members and their families. During the interview, Sinise shared how his connection to the military began long before his Hollywood career. Several members of his family served in the Vietnam War, including two of his wife’s brothers. Their service inspired him to start supporting veterans in the 1970s and 1980s. His role as Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump also helped him connect with wounded veterans. However, Sinise said the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed his life. “That really had a profound impact on me,” Sinise told Bunker. Sinise remembered watching the attacks on television while he was in California. He had plans to play golf that morning but said he was too upset to continue. After the attacks, he wanted to do something to help. He contacted the United Service Organizations (USO) and began visiting American troops.

Popular Florida pro-am that attracts PGA Tour players, other pros turns 50

The Henry Tuten Gator Bowl Pro-Am reaches a milestone this year. And it will be a bittersweet celebration, without the tournament's namesake. The holiday staple on the area's golf schedule will be Dec. 14-15 at the Sea Island Resort Seaside and Plantation Courses on St. Simons Island, Georgia. It will be the 50th playing of the tournament, which annually has attracted pros from the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions, LIV, Korn Ferry Tour, PGA Tour Americas and club professionals from Florida's First Coast and Georgia's Golden Isles. Each pro is grouped with three amateurs and played 36 holes under a gross best ball. Early commitments to play are PGA Tour winners Russell Knox, Keith Mitchell, Andrew Novak, Harold Varner III and Taylor Dickson. Participants in the past have included World Golf Hall of Fame member Vijay Singh, Players Championship winners David Duval, Mark McCumber and Cameron Smith, and PGA Tour winners Len Mattiace, Kenny Perry, Frank Lickliter and Davis Thompson. Tournament organizers will use its 50th anniversary to honor Tuten, who passed away in March at the age of 97. One of his legacies is more than $100,000 in charitable giving over the last six years to area golf-themed non-profits.
