Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band is my favorite . Who are other big name screen or stage celebrities, sports stars, or business or cultural icons who are strong and substantive supporters of Servicemembers and Veterans ?

I know this band isn't for everyone (I love them), but Five Finger Death Punch is a big supporter of Veterans. Ivan Moody (lead singer) comes from a military family. They started the campaign 'No One Get Left Behind' (http://www.5fdp4vets.com/).

Of course Gary Sinise. But also
Robin Williams (RIP)
Kid Rock
Chuck Norris
Any Celebrity who genuinely supports the troops versus those who want to make it a publicity stunt

The ones that put their words into action. Plenty of celebrities and sports stars went into service in previous wars. Ted Williams (WWII and Korea), Joe DiMaggio, Elvis, etc.
Those like Bob Hope and Gary Sinise do their part nowadays, though all we can ever ask for is for someone to actually care and put their words into action.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver there have been several as of late. The ones I can remember are: Andrew Luck, Chuck Pagano, the Allstate guy, Rob Riggle, Mrs. America, We-man, Phillip Phillips, Brian Urlacher, Doug Fister, and Trace Adkins. I know I am missing quite a few.

CPT Justin Rose He was, I think he just retired though. Very true that he walks the walk. He was extremely funny, the best part was watching all the GOs when he was telling off color jokes.

Toby Kieth is a big supporter of the Military. I have seen him every time I have deployed and it is a big morale boost.

Agreed. He came to Mosul in 05. The organizers came around and said sorry, no autographs or greetings. Turns out it was because he was doing another set at a different FOB that night. You'd have to look hard to find a classier guy in my book.

Metallica does a lot for SMs and Vets. There was also recently the Seattle Seahawks QB who upgraded a soldier's seat to First Class to thank him for his service and he was low key about it all. Pretty classy in my book.

They played a free concert here in DC on National Mall last veteran's day along with Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, and Eminem. It was good until Eminem started talking trash.

Craig Morgan, Tim McGraw, Chris Young, the list is very long in the world of Country music :) I do enjoy knowing that many artists take the time to thank our SMs And Veterans.

I believe Craig Morgan went to Afghanistan in 2013-2014 as well as Willy from Duck Dynasty. Would have been awesome to see but didn't get too:( Toby Keith is another country singer

Henry Rollins is someone who has done quite a few USO tours (between six and eight I believe). Though he has been vocally critical about the wars, he has also been vocally supportive of troops. He was even selected to hand out "Sailor of the Year" in 2005. For someone to put their political views aside in order to support service members is pretty impressive.

I've seen lots of celebrities during my visits to Walter Reed in Bethesda. Trace Adkins and Jay Leno are known to use their celebrity to give back to vets, just not as much as Mr. Sinise.

Just about every single Nascar Driver, Owner, and Crew, sponsors, and event teams! I will never forget my friends at Diageo and Crown Royal. Sponsored Hometown Heroes and I was honored to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at the Richmond Race. The race was named after Matthew and Daniel Hansen..Staff Sgt. Daniel Hansen died in Afghanistan on Feb. 14 after his foot patrol was hit by an improvised explosive device. His twin Matthew was still serving at the time of the race.
