Actor Gary Sinise, perhaps best-known for his Oscar-nominated role as a badly wounded Vietnam vet in the movie "Forrest Gump" walks with wounded veteran Marine Corporal Todd Nicely in St. Louis on April 11, 2011. Sinise and his band will play a Memorial Day weekend concert on May 27th in St. Charles, Missouri for Nicely, one of only three surviving quadruple amputees from the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Corporal Nicely lost both arms and legs after stepping on an IED in Afghanistan in March 2010. Sinise announced that proceeds from every ticket sold for the May 27th concert will go towards construction of a Smart Home for Corporal Nicely, part of a project sponsored by the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.Sgt.
