***** Music was a big part of a soldier’s down time that centered within the clubs and hooches 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. *****
Our goal with The Vietnam War: The Music is to honor the fallen and the survivors with the music that got them through “just one more day”. 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, THANK YOU. *****
This episode is called Vietnam War: The Music - Season 3 / Episode 2 – Still In Saigon *****
This episode includes a song performed by a Vietnam Veteran, the BOONIE RAT SONG by Chuck Rosenberg. Legend has it that it was written by an M-60 machine gunner attached to the 101st Division somewhere in the Ruong-Ruong Valley in 1970. The music was added after. It has been reported that the gunner was later killed in action. Chuck Rosenberg served with as an A-Team Communications Supervisor in Company C, Sixth Special Forces Group (Airborne), at Fort Bragg from 1965 to 1968.
