This exhibit is called The Vietnam War: The Music. 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.
Early-on, in Vietnam, soldiers turned to music as a lifeline to the home front they promised to defend. Stateside music was a big part of a soldier’s down time that centered around the hooches and outposts of Vietnam. 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 The Vietnam War: The Music.
This episode is called “Fun, Travel, Adventure” ******
