Gary Sinise, a longtime advocate for service members and military veterans, tonight will be honored by Heroes Linked with its distinguished service award.

The non-profit, which is throwing its annual gala at the Beverly Hilton, assists veterans, military spouses, service members transitioning to civilian life, and Gold Star families. That includes efforts to secure housing and to offer college grant assistance.

Joe Mantegna, last year’s recipient, will present the award to Sinise. They have frequently co-hosted the National Memorial Day Concert in Washington, D.C.

Sinise established the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2011 to support veterans and first responders, including building custom homes for severly wounded soldiers and providing equipment and training.

James Colbert, executive director of Heroes Linked, said in a statement that Sinise “is not only a renowned Hollywood figure but also an advocate dedicated to the well-being of our nation’s heroes. Through his tireless efforts, he has become a beacon of support for veterans and active-duty military personnel, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those he serves.” The event also will include a performance by J.D. Hinton.

Huawei 'super fans' fuming as left empty handed by $2,800 phone launch
SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) -Huawei and Apple's latest smartphones went on sale in China on Friday, with many fans of the Chinese company disappointed that its much-anticipated $2,800 model - more than twice the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max - was not available for walk-in customers. At Huawei's flagship shop in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, some who described themselves as "super fans" were annoyed after being told only those whose pre-orders had been confirmed could buy the tri-foldable Mate XT. It was a similar story at the Huawei Wangfujing store in Beijing, where access to the much-hyped Mate XT - which folds three ways like an accordion screen door - was restricted to those whose pre-orders had been confirmed.
