They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. ***** As we close season three, the theme is centered around a military cadence call, “Jody's Got Your Cadillac”. Cadences are used by soldiers during marching or running maneuvers. They are sometimes called “jody calls” or “jodies”, after Jody, a recurring character who figures in many traditional cadences; Jody refers to the man with whom a serviceman's wife/girlfriend cheats while he is deployed. Jody stays back home, drives the soldier's car, and gets the soldier's sweetheart while the soldier is stationed elsewhere. ******  ***** In this episode you’ll hear two songs, by soldiers who served there. ******** One is Saigon Warrior by Saul Broudy (lead) & Robin Thomas (back-up vocal) **** SAIGON WARRIOR is a military folksong about rear echelon personnel.

Vietnam War: The Music presents a salute to the American Forces Vietnam Network. AFVN was created as a morale-boosting military radio station for servicemen and women in Vietnam. AFVN broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week for over 10 years; it began broadcasting on August 15, 1962, and ended in March of 1973. At the height of American involvement in the war, Armed Forces Vietnam Network served more than 500,000 fighting men and women at one time. AFVN was a forum for news, comedy, and entertainment for the soldiers during the Vietnam War.

Our mission here at the Music Museum is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now.

Rock & roll (R&R) really became rest & relaxation (R&R) for the troops. It was this music that got you through another day, another day closer to going home.

This program is for you, the Vietnam Vets, who will never forget. ******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”.
