On behalf of myself and the officers of the American Heroes Flagoles Foundation we would like to thank you for visiting our site and for your interest.    I am part of a generation of veterans that was never honored or respected for their service during the Vietnam War, even though we answered the Call of Duty and did our job with courage and determination.

   It was exactly 40 years from the year of my discharge before I ever heard the words 'Welcome Home'... at a small flag ceremony and I had to look around to see who the person was talking to before I realized it was me.    The young man then shook my hand and said 'Thank you for my Freedom'.   We can never turn back the clock or erase the shame America should have for dishonoring an entire generation of veterans, but we can let these heroes know that we realize now they were the best we ever had.    Please help me, I was born for this... it is my calling and my life's work and I cannot do this without you.   Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Danny Kaifetz, USMC 1970-1972.
