Beginning in the Vietnam War, if a military unit was in imminent danger of their position being overrun, the code word, “Broken Arrow!” would be screamed across the area and to higher headquarters. Broken Arrow meant that every available asset: air, land, and sea would immediately redirect their mission toward the unit in need and unload all ordinance upon their friendly position at “Danger Close” proximity.
In battle, if you became desperate enough to call for “Broken Arrow!” you needed all the help you could get fast. Many veterans feel this way today. Broken Arrow Foundation, Inc. will assist in the last line of defense for veterans who have fallen through the cracks and need immediate support and encouragement for survival. We welcome this important challenge as we leave no veteran behind in battle or at home.
