In conjunction with the Department of Defense, D.B. started a website called “Letters From Hollywood” to collect and transmit messages of support and thanks to our troops. He’s very pleased to join with the Gary Sinise Foundation to advance the cause of our fearless service men and women and our noble veterans.

“A very small percentage of Americans serve our Nation. Along with saying thanks, it's my view that the rest of us can and should make an effort to close the gaps in what our government can and should provide for heroes. I'm proud to work with the Gary Sinise Foundation which is uniquely positioned to do that.”
