Tour of Vietnam Music Memories

Music was very important to all who served in Vietnam. I think about the songs that were played on the Armed Forces Radio Network and alsothe USO shows that played many of these songs as well. I have selected just a few songs that remains in my mind as hearing quite often in Vietnam. Any Vietnam veteran would like to add to this list please email me at  the60sofficialsite@verizon.net. These songs were our way of touching home.
