Gary Sinese is a nice guy. See what he did for his Uncle jack.
I don't know what his politics are, and I don't really care.
His Uncle Jack was a B-17 navigator in WWII.
Gary got him a ride on a B-17 recently.
The video is about 15 minutes long.
I think you'll be glad you watched it.

2. Very cool
I've had chances to take a ride (Aluminum Overcast and Memphis Belle) but I didn't want to inconvenience any WWII vets by making they wait even a minute longer than necessary. I'll get my chance.

3. Unfortunately, Sinese is one of "them"
Along with Kelsey Grammer, Adam Sandler, and the vast majority of "country music stars."

4. Even though he is one of "them," I always liked him.
Not so much Kelsey Grammer or some of the country music stars.

7. Even "them" love people and do kind things.
Things are not black and white.

10. Y'know, back during the Vietnam war, when I was in high school, I spent the
weekend with a friend at his father's hunting lodge. His father was extremely rightwing: he and I didn't agree about anything. We drove out in the very early morning. And as we drove in the dark, his father suddenly shushed us and turned up the radio. Baez was singing. When the song was over, the rightwinger said -- I can't stand her politics, but boy! can she sing!

He's long dead now. Truth be told, I don't remember anymore what we argued about. I remember that he liked to hear Joan Baez sing, even though her politics made him furious

5. My dad has a friend who died recently. When he was about 90 a local
entrepreneur bought a spitfire and called him because he had flown a spitfire during WWII. As the phonecall ended the entrepreneur asked him if he wanted to take the spitfire out for a spin!!! LOL!

11. I saw that on some show last night....
Sinese isn't a traditional right winger, he is a guy who loves and respects the military and what the SOLDIERS do...
