Lt. Dan Band: For The Common Good (PAL)

An Exceptional Award-Winning Documentary Movie
"Lt. Dan Band: For The Common Good" is an exceptional full-length documentary movie that rallies all who experience it around our flag, our nation, and the men and women who selflessly serve our country and daily place themselves in harm's way. At this time in our nation's history, when partisan wrangling and vitriol, media bias, and political grandstanding dominate the culture and airwaves, this movie rallies everyone who watches it around what really matters - those who throughout history, but especially today, voluntarily put their lives on the line to defend us and our enduring freedoms.

Actor Gary Sinise created the role of Lt. Dan Taylor in Robert Zemeckis' award-winning landmark 1994 movie "Forrest Gump." In this role, Lt. Dan himself becomes a role model for so many - a soldier from a long line of military men who have died in battle, only to be fortuitously, yet reluctantly saved on the battlefield, being left wheelchair-bound as a cripple. Lt. Dan falls on...

A Patriotic Film That's Powerful & Important
I got a chance to see LT. DAN BAND: FOR THE COMMON GOOD at last winter's Sedona Film Festival in Arizona and became an instant cheerleader for the film.

At a glance, you may think that it's just a concert film of actor Gary Sinise playing for troops but you'd be wrong: it's so much more than that. Always moving at a brisk pace, the film features how Sinise came to be so involved in our troops (including a fascinating back story for Lt. Dan's character in FORREST GUMP), his career as an actor, how he came to form the band, a history of the USO, his visits to Iraq & other theatres of operations as well as meeting our troops and their struggles both in combat and recovery. There's so much here and you come away from the film with such a better understanding because of it.

It is also a very emotional film as well. I can't imagine a dry eye after watching the sequence where the band plays for the children of fallen soldiers.

I am not connected to this...

A MUST SEE!
I really appreciate and enjoy the LT. Dan Band, but the documentary seriously just blew me away! Gary and his band are such amazing, giving Americans and Patriots! The film will fill you in on all details from their start to where and what they are doing now. Absolutely Amazing! A MUST SEE!
