Episode 91: Vietnam War: The Music - The Saigon Soul Patrol

Our mission here at the Music Museum is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service.
During the entire length of the Vietnam War, soul music ruled the airwaves. AFVN Radio played and played the Motown Sound. It was this music that got you through another day, another day closer to going home. Music was a big part of a soldier’s down time that centered within the hooches of Vietnam. And soul music is a big part of the “Soundtrack of the Vietnam War.” Of course, laughter is good medicine, but MUSIC is the best medicine. Thanks for being a part of our ongoing Homecoming celebration. Welcome Home.
Our shows are broadcast around the world. There is no opinion offered on the War. It’s all about the music. Here’s to the “Peacekeepers” around the world. For your service and your sacrifice, this is Vietnam War: The Music.
This episode is called “The Saigon Soul Patrol”
