Before Capt. Geoffrey Moore welcomed a band playing in his backyard recently, he admitted he’d never heard their music. Still, the leader of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island knew his base had been abuzz about the July 14 USO show. So he didn’t hold back in his introduction. Patricia Guthrie photo

“Welcome the military’s most popular band, Lt. Dan Band, featuring Chief Petty Officer Gary Sinise,” Moore told an enthusiastic crowd of 3,000 active and retired veterans and their families who witnessed the band’s first appearance on Whidbey Island.
Sinise, an actor, director, producer and musician who started his own foundation devoted to veterans, had just been given a hat by Lt. David Machinporrato with the words “Lt. Dan” on the back. He’s best known for the role of Lt. Dan Taylor in the 1994 major motion picture “Forrest Gump,” for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. For nine seasons, Sinise also played Detective Mac Taylor on the television series, C.S.I.: New York. Since 2003, Sinise, a longtime bass guitar player, has taken center stage as USO’s main entertainer, reminding some in the crowd of Bob CONTINUED PAGE 3

bases, on ships, in military hospitals and in the hometowns of disabled vets, according to its website.
This year, Sinise earned top awards for his acting talent and humanitarian efforts. In April, he received his own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and in October, he’ll receive the Army’s top award.
“He’s probably got more time in Iraq and Afghanistan than a lot of us,” Moore remarked before the show. “I think many of the people coming to see him perform tonight are here to thank him for what he does.”
The Council of Trustees of the Association of the United States Army named Sinise as 2017 recipient of the George Catlett Marshall Medal, given for sustained commitment to the men and women of America’s armed forces.
Jess Hickman, retired and now a base civilian employee, said he saw Sinise during a deployment and in Bremerton.
The concert was presented by both USO (United Service Organizations formed in 1941) and Gary Sinise Foundation, which just celebrated its sixth anniversary. The following night, the Lt. Dan Band played at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

They flew into refuel and put on a show.” Ruple attended the Lt. Dan Band concert with her friend, Cat Branscum, who remarked Sinise probably “didn’t travel with pin-ups like Bob Hope did.” But Sinise does travel with a very large band, a 12-piece ensemble that jammed for two hours, cranking out wellknown songs from 1940s swoon tunes to today’s top 40.
“He goes out of his way to play for active and retired military,” said Hickman, attending with his wife and two daughters. “He’s taken over for Bob Hope. He always seems to be the one who

At a press conference, Sinise recounted that his initial efforts to join forces with the USO didn’t go so smoothly. Multiple offers triggered no response. “After the Sept. 11 attacks, I called up the USO and said, ‘I’m Gary Sinise. I’d like to do a show.’ Then I sent another message, saying I really
wanted to go on a USO tour. Finally I left a message, saying, ‘I played Lt. Dan’ and then they called back.” The character of Lt. Dan Taylor, who loses his legs in combat, resonates with many vets, Sinise says, because he overcomes anger, depression, drinking and drugs and learns to live again. “He’s standing up at the

end of the movie. That’s a positive story for a lot of our wounded veterans.” While the 2001 terror attacks triggered the 62-yearold actor’s desire to do more for the troops, he’s also from a military family. He described witnessing how badly soldiers were treated returning from Vietnam, something his brothers-in-law experienced firsthand. Never again should that happen, Sinise said. “It is a dangerous world and and

Sinise said he’s often asked by others how they can show support for the military. “I have a public platform, but you don’t have to be a celebrity. Just look in your neighborhood. Start there. “Maybe someone you know Living and serving for 30 years haslocallybeen struggling, struggling in silence and they don’t want to reach out.

Going the distance to raise awareness of veteran suicide
By PATRICIA GUTHRIE
pguthrie@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Whidbey Island’s own Hercules completed another challenge-with-a-cause recently in the name of bringing attention to the high suicide rate among veterans. April 11, Michael McCastle started running 20 miles every day for 100 consecutive days. His quest ended July 19 near Portland. McCastle chose 20 miles as a daily goal because the Department of Veterans Affairs estimates 20 to 22 vets kill themselves every day. “It’s a silent war against an invisible enemy,” he said during a stop in Coupeville on Day 88 after completing a 20-mile loop near Deception Pass. McCastle collected donations for two non-profit organizations, Operation Enduring Warrior and the National Alliance to End Veteran Suicide. This is his sixth feat of
strength and endurance he’s pursued in the last several years for his Twelve Labors Project, which has the multiple missions of raising awareness and money for selected causes, inspiring others and breaking world records along the way. McCastle served at Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island from 2013 to 2016, specializing in air traffic control. He now lives in Vancouver, Wash., or wherever his challenges and advocacy take him. Following his 100-day run, he led a three-day retreat in Oregon for veterans.
“He’s such an inspiration to people,” said Rodd Wittmier, of Buckley, Wash., who founded the National Alliance to End Veteran Suicide. “People can’t comprehend him but they relate to him, as someone who cares. It’s not about Michael. It’s about the mission, it’s about the cause.” McCastle named his project after the legend of Hercules, a Greek mythological hero known for his physical and inner strength and pursuit of 12 seemingly CONTINUED PAGE 6

impossible hardships. “I do increasingly difficult feats of endurance. I want to inspire people to challenge
themselves,” he explained. “People associate pain with suffering, but not all pain is bad. Maybe people will
remember pain is a useful indicator of pushing your body.” McCastle’s endurance feats have raised $30,000 for charity, according to his website, and landed him in the record books several times. His first feat in 2013 involved a 50K run while wearing a 40-pound vest to benefit Children’s Cancer Research. At 6 feet, 2 inches and weighing 233 pounds, McCastle’s rock-solid body has taken a beating, and occasionally breaks down.
NOW OPEN IN ANACORTES
During his 2014 first attempt at breaking the world’s 24-hour record for pull-ups, he had to stop short of his goal. “I tore my forearm muscles and biceps, I suffered acute kidney damage and had holes in my hands,” he recalled. He also required a two-day stay at WhidbeyHealth Medical Center. But a few months later in winter cold and whipping winds, McCastle flipped a 250-pound tire for 10 hours, going a distance equaling 13 miles in a downtown Oak Harbor parking lot. In May 2015, McCastle climbed a 20-foot rope 1,450 times to equal 29,029 feet — the height of Mount Everest — in just under 27 hours to raise funds for Parkinson’s research. McCastle’s father, an Army veteran, died after battling the disease. Four months after that, McCastle took another crack at pull-ups at Oak Harbor’s
Most Awarded & Comprehensive Dermatology Program in 4 Counties
North End Fitness Center. He beat the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours — 5,804. And he did it with a 30-pound pack on his back to represent the burden felt by many veterans. His pullup challenges raised nearly $10,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project, a service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans. In May 2016, McCastle pulled a 2016 Ford F-150 pickup truck for 22 miles in 19 hours across California’s Death Valley, also to raise awareness for the staggering suicide rate of military men and women. Every 65-72 minutes, another veteran takes their own life, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Totaling between 7,300-8,030 deaths per year, military suicides account for 20 percent of all suicides in the United States. The biggest age spikes are over 50 years old and between 18 to 25.

and retired personnel, government services can’t keep up with demand. “What I’m advocating is for communities to reach out,” McCastle said. “Vets who are suffering, they want relief and they’re not going to get it standing in line at the V.A.” McCastle revealed he’s lost three friends to suicide. “None of them were at the base here,” he said. “They were from different duty stations.”
“If you have PTSD, if you’ve suffered military sexual trauma or a traumatic brain injury, isolation becomes part of the norm,” he said. “And the more you isolate, the more you won’t survive.”
Although marketing himself and his accomplishments are necessary to his mission, McCastle describes his cause as greater than himself.
While both McCastle and Wittmier acknowledge the military is finally addressing mental health needs of active
“There are veterans out there that don’t have a strong enough voice right now,” he said. “So for me, this is a lifetime endeavor. “
