This exhibit from The Music Museum is called The Vietnam War: The Music. Our mission is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service.
In Vietnam, music provided a diversion and a release from “the uncertainty, isolation, and sometimes stark terror that reached from the front lines to the relatively secure rear areas.
The music that was popular during the Vietnam War was, and is still, therapy. There are songs you can remember, and then there are songs you REALLY remember. Many of these songs will have a special meaning for you. A place, a brother, a time gone by.
Our shows are broadcast around the world. They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. There is no opinion offered on the War. It’s all about the music. - - -
For your service and your sacrifice, this is Vietnam War: The Music. - - -
We close out Season 4 with a bit of nostalgia. If you missed your prom while “in Country”, this episode is for you. It’s called “Prom Night 1962” - - -
