FORT HOOD, Texas (KWTX) - Actor and musician Gary Sinise brought the Lieutenant Dan Band to Fort Hood for a free live performance for troops stationed at the base.

Sinise, known for his roles in "CSI: NY" and as Lieutenant Dan in "Forrest Gump," has performed for U.S. service members for decades.

He said his connection to Fort Hood goes back to a USO concert welcoming home the 4th Infantry Division from Iraq."A massive USO concert when the 4th Infantry Division came home from Iraq after capturing Saddam Hussein and it was a giant welcome home ceremony and I remember being here for that," Sinise said.
