Dear West Point Association of Graduates,
Thank you does not seem an adequate acknowledgment for your recognizing me on October 22, 2015 with the Sylvanus Thayer award at West Point.
After the day's events, while extremely tired from the long day of activities, I was still wide awake as the special day continued to replay itself in my mind over and over again.
For me, the privilege and reward is in knowing that, as a civilian citizen, there is something I can do to support the men and women who defend our country. Yet, I appreciate so very much the acknowledgment that you have bestowed on me, and will cherish the memory of receiving it always.
The Thayer award will be proudly displayed at my office in Los Angeles in a place of honor. Please know how deeply grateful my family and I are for all you have done in service to our country, and for honoring me with this special tribute.
Warmest regards to you all.
Sincerely,
Gary Sinise
