While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation's defenders, we can always do a little more.

So for, you know, for a good 20 years now I've been involved with veterans and soldiers and in support of them no matter what they're doing.

Yeah, I volunteered to support the troops, and get out there and show them that we care about them.

I started a theater called Steppenwolf. We've been very supportive of the veterans there.

I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.

But I've got more to learn, too. I don't feel like I'm done or I know it all.

Its a way for you to support the children by sending pencils, beanie babies or soccer balls. That all started because of one of those convoys I was on.
