Hey Jack this Christopher from The Midnight Runner Program. I am looking forward to our interview this thursday the 25th, 2009 on my radio show. You did a fantastic job with this. My father was in Vietnam and this movie is a great honor to our soldiers.

Looking good, Jack. You got the first trailer on. Now put the other one on too.

I think your DVDs will sell like hot cakes. Keep up the good work.

This is a movie that will be very popular for many years to come. I know that you did this movie to honor the American heroes fighting for our freedom.

Nice going,

Vic

In the opening of FORGOTTEN HEROES before the film begins we have an opening credit by a Vietnam Veteran and retired Brigadier General.

He wanted to make this statement to all his fellow brothers that served in that noble war during the 1960s. Both John Lebert and I feel very honored that we are a part of this 'thank you' by a fellow veteran and we hope that all of you Vietnam Veterans have a chance to see this statement in the only film that honors your entire service to our great Country.

"Our nation is fortunate to have patriots like Jack Marino and John Lebert, who had the courage to create Forgotten Heroes as a thank you for all of the Vietnam Heroes who paid the ultimate price with their lives, and for the Veterans who came back.... Welcome Home Brothers, Welcome Home"

This review was sent to me by former US Marine Col. (Ret) Joseph Smith here in Los Angeles. I wanted to post this for all you Vietnam Veterans out there that were attacked by Hollywood after the Vietnam Conflict.


"Forgotten Heroes" is a good, solid, old-fashioned entertainment in a Vietnam setting without the distorted stereotypes of drug addicts, murderers, and rapist. I particularly liked the ending with President Kennedy's Inaugural ceremony pledge to defend freedom anywhere, anytime, at any cost. It was not only very effective but helped to put our Southeast Asian involvement in context. "
