I never had much desire to see any movie on Viet Nam because I grew up during the time when they would scroll a list the names of the fallen American soldiers on the nightly news, and there was so much unrest at home. The boy next door went off to Viet Nam and he - along with thousands of other soldiers and military were disrespected by too many Americans upon their return.
From all that I have read about the movie "Forgotten Heroes" I think that I may have found one of the very few movies about the Viet Nam war that will have some positive, healing value. For that, Jack Marino is my hero.
". . . movies should be a positive expression that there is hope, love, mercy, justice and charity. . . It is the filmmaker's responsibility to emphasize the positive qualities of humanity by showing the triumph of the individual over adversities." - Frank Capra 1960
PLEASE NOTE that the producers of "Forgotten Heroes" are donating 25% of all gross DVD sales to The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial Fund.
Thank you, Jack Marino!
