The Giant Killer

RIP Richard Flaherty.. a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran.. a towering figure of a man that struggled throughout his life yet achieving goals that appeared to be insurmountable, Sadly, Veterans of the Vietnam war decorated or not we're not held in high esteem when they came back home and even to this day "they were never told welcome home" ... Officer David Yuzuk of the Aventura police department in Dade county Florida is a very compassionate human being, indeed, truly, without his input, ths story would more than likely not be available to the public as a brilliant documentary. Richard Flaherty was Larger in life at 4 foot nine..!! I only wish there was more footage of Richard himself.. that would've made this documentary 11 stars... we have to support human interest videos in order for more like these to be created..!!!

An amazing man and an amazing life. So sad that the DA let his life end without the justice it deserved.

I can tell you that these men deserve better than America has given to them. Small steps have been made to "make up" for the failures of the past but more and larger steps need to be taken.

A must see touching and true story of a forgotten decorated hero from Vietnam. How many secrets did he take to the grave? We will never know.

The story of a tiny man who somehow got in the army although he didn't make the height cut. Went to Vietnam and was a war hero. He was involved with the CIA, Revolutionaries, became homeless and that is only a small part of this complex and incredible man's story. A must see, you can't make this stuff up!

I had hard time watching this great movie as I knew Richard from the streets and I began to question so many thing that I was seeing in this film. From the start to the end the movie brings you in the life of a this "little man" that was mysterious but yet so interesting. I thought the Director was able to grasp the element of mystery and allure of the man that so many had questions for so many years. Worth the watch and even the sad ending even made me proud of the man and what he did for this country.
