From The Chairman

Dear Friends,

If you have explored this site already you may have some idea of the work the Helping American Heroes is doing and how they are honoring Veterans who served in conflicts such as World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Through the ever-increasing nationwide broadcast programming that we offer, we give back to our Veterans the honor and gratitude that they so quietly deserve.

To this end, Heroes News Network has taken it upon itself to honor the sacrifices of those who have fought to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Our programs are designed to preserve and perpetuate the legacies of our nation's heroes to the younger generations who will soon take on the responsibility of safeguarding the freedom for which they fought so long ago.

Thank you again for all your support. We encourage you to join us in this important and urgent cause, while remembering those who served.

In Honor of Our Veterans,

Scott Balsiger, Chairman
