Music from Vietnam war

[alexanderleach]

1960s was the greatest era of rock and roll.

[almiller]

a simple guitar riff can bring back faces from 50 years ago

[craigward]

I was a soldier in the Australian army reserve from 1977 to 1992 & grew up on Vietnam era rock, & still loving it

[longredroad]

the best of times and the worst of times, but it was our time,
thanks for the songs and the memories; one old vet to another on our day.

[CouplesLite]

Salute all the Kiwis and Aussies who served in Vietnam

[skiplazauski]

I lost count of how many funerals I went to between '65 and '69. When this music plays I can still see the faces of the mothers and fathers of the dead fading in and out of my mind. I joined the Navy in '69 rather than be drafted and was assigned to work in communication intelligence (NSA).
Peace and rest to those who didn't get to take the big bird back to the states.

I was a River Rat on the Vam Co Dong and we had a Teac reel to reel with 15' Sansui speakers blasting these tunes as we patrolled. Charlie always knew where we were anyway, so the loud rock n roll didn't really matter. We Gotta Get Outta This Place was our theme song. Ben Luc, Vietnam 1969

My dad was in the navy. He was one of the river boat men. He never talked about his experiences other than to say that they were not fun.

[P.G.]

My dad served 4 tours in Vietnam on the day. When tours were 12-18 months long. 😢Never the same...until the day he died.

[johncrosby]

The pilot, copilot and i listen to these tunes while searching for mr. Charlie.

[williamcurtis]

I grew up listening to this music with my dad and uncles, all served in Vietnam. Some of the best music ever produced, in my opinion.

[thBear]

Been there, done that, lived to tell about it. 1st Bn, 7th Air Cav, 1st AirCav Div. '71-'72. GaryOwen. Now, I'm an old man enjoying the music I grew up listening to on CKLW in Detroit, Michigan, baby, and later on that FM station outside Ft. Knox, Ky! So long ago. Oh, yah...F--k Westmoreland, that lying Sob! He kept the war going with his lies!

[danielcifuentes]

That was Dad´s wonderful and amazing. Music from other time, music that lives in surviving veterans of a hard, harsh, long, crazy and terrible war.... Yet I love it.

[naturaljustice]

My cousin was Huey-Pilot, served 3 year in Nam.

[johanbotha]

I was a soldier in the south african and namibian armies from '77 to 1983.The sound of rotor bades give me goose bumps!

[lawrenceharrington]

I joined the US Navy 1980, but my dad joined In 1958... He wanted to be a C.B. So I got to hear all this kind of music... He lived though it... This is Soul Music to me!!!
