Heroes Company

Dear Friends,

Thank you truly for the support that you are giving to Heroes Company!

Only a week has gone by since our presentation and your affirmations of esteem are already numerous indeed. Thank you again. Of course, at this moment, it is important to keep the attention alive, to speak out, to get informed. The risk of losing the emotional phase in only a flash is huge. We must all engage ourselves so that this does not occur, we must always keep in mind those persons who still today, at this very moment, are fighting for the freedom of their country, requesting democracy and justice. Let’s not leave them in the shadows; let’s always keep them on our minds. They need our help!

I have read your messages on the blog and am happy to see so much interest from many of you who want to get involved. We want to change attitudes, to acknowledge that it is important to give our utmost support to those persons who are fighting strenuously for a better future, to offer support to the heroes of our times.

I lived the suffering in Laos in the first person. This beautiful Country holds a sad reality: it was the most bombarded after World War II. Above all, the so-called “cluster bombs” were then used, which still today provoke an incredible number of deaths. The Laotian territory is still very much plagued by unexploded bombs, which continue to explode, causing deaths and injuries still today, some thirty years after their drop. It is frightful. When the war gear does not kill, it produces terrible amputations in people. The families are dealt with continuous mourning; taking the wrong road and ending up on a bomb splinter, this is what could definitely change one’s life, torture it even. And yet, these people have such a will to live … to smile, they are kind towards the world. Those who survive often cannot return to a life of dignity, and this is not right. This is why I wanted that first aid arrive here. The purpose is to have prostheses reach them in order to give new possibilities to all those injured who lost a limb due to these cowardly and uncontrollable attacks.

I have asked for the teamwork of Vittorio and that of his staff, who have followed me for fourteen years during my professional career. Now, I would like that they put their skills and experience at work for this cause, in which I truly believe.

Several friends have called me and have written to me enthused about wanting to lend their support to Heroes Company. We are fine-tuning everything; some time is necessary to properly structure the organization. As soon as we are ready, we will notify you as to how you can help. We need everyone. Above all, the Heroes of our times must no longer remain on their own. Let us give them also our voice.

Hugs, Roberto

I was there in '94!:

Roberto:


Thank you for all of the fantastic memories. I was at the semi-final in 1994 as well as the Final in California. I was 11 years old at the time...thank you very much for being an idol to me throughout my playing career. Hopefully, heroes like you, as well as President Bush, can continue to spread freedom and democracy throughout the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Regards,

Jim from the USA

Juan Sanchez:

Ciao Roberto!

Hi there, I'm Juan from Peru and of course, big fan of you and followed almost all your carreer since Italia 90 til that match in San Siro against AC Milan whe you said good bye. In my opinion, I have not seen any other greater football player than you and I truly believe you must be a Top 10 in history.

Besides the football carreer is really satisfaying to find you in the other side of the story... I mean, outside the luxury and pleasure of a successful player but on the side of the people who does need world's attention. There's a lot of suffering worldwide, mostly in Latin America, Africa and Asia. And I do hope we can make a difference. It's not watching the news and say "poor them", it's trying to help and change this mess.

God bless you always and I really hope you live a long and peaceful life. What a player you were... remember those wonderful goals against Spain and Bulgaria in USA 94... how about the one against Czech in Italia 90?

Dani:

Roberto Baggio is a rare kind of beauty, a beauty that encompasses all the joy and sorrow of genius. True, he is pure class, a pure fantasista, a genuine number 10. Technically, he, nicknamed Caravaggio, belongs to the renaissance class of Maradona and Zico only. Intrinsically, he has more class than Platini. Watch his dignity, charm, and magic especially at Juventus. His dribbling skills, finishing touches, and subtly curved free kicks remain unmatched today not only in Italy but in Europe. Antonio Conte once said of him, "He is able to dribble past 11 player and score." In reality, what he does with the ball is paint the field with curves of infinite passion and tenderness. His greatness, his legend, is not built upon collective glories, but upon singular passion and sheer beauty. He need not win trophies, for Baggio is Baggio, pure talent, a beauty that is a satisfaction unto himself.

O Baggio, behold this longing for you!

Hi Roby or anyone who can help,

I know this is a silly question but I am in search for luciano soprani uomo for a friend that has been looking for it. I have tried to email the company and no one has returned my email. I looked at the Luciano soprani website and noticed your link. Can you please tell me how to order directly from the store?

I am deeply impressed by your concern on the situation of the people and the democracy movement in Lao and Burma(Myanmar). As a Chinese, I really understand what that means and how important it is. I never thought as a football star, you could also have passion for human rights. Thank you, Bobby, I am your football fan, and I am also a fan of your soul. I will do whatever I can to support you.

Rodrigo Petrone:

the situation in any poor countries is very difficult because how they don´t have any worth thing to offer,so the development counties don't invest in this kind of country.
In other countries like Brazil,where I live,it's government's fault,once there's the money to improve the population´s life,but the corruption doesn´t let.
In Brazil,you can see weatlhy people living next people who don´t have anything to eat.
Brazil is the king of social inequality.
I hope you come to visit Brazil to confirm this and you will be able to know the tourist attractions and will be able to sunbathe.

Peter:

Dear Roberto,

I'm a huge fan, and still watch your videos for inspiration. I've coached youth soccer on and off over the years, and often refer to your play- mostly the biomechanics of how you excel in pivoting and balance, though also your field vision and amazing accomplishments.

Your life off the soccer field has also inspired me, including this work to improve the lives of disadvantaged Laotians. In August, I returned from my third visit to Cambodia. The challenges faced by the Khmer are very similar to those of Laotians. Cambodia is also littered with unexploded ordinances that take lives and limbs, as well as mass poverty, disease, and difficulty getting international aid to those who most need it. Although I've rarely contributed to aid organizations, I make direct donations, perhaps minor in relation. These include enrolling and sponsoring children for English education, coordinating to find other sponsors, and delivering small supplies such as books, first aid, tools, etc.

While I've never been to Laos, I understand the existing need and imagine the impact that your leadership there could have. I hope in some way I can support this endeavor. And, perhaps someday in the future this mission can extend south to Cambodia. Thank you Roberto, and your translator, for your time reading this (sorry it’s so lengthy) and for your and your team's work thus far in Laos. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Best wishes,
Peter
