While serving in Vietnam and like any other war letters from home were very important and all of us looked forward to receiving them whether in the field or at base camp. It kept us up on what is going on at home with family and country. Of course we had the AFN radio which broadcasted across Vietnam. The music was a constant reminder of how much we missed home and added some sane moments. The country was divided about the war but music united us all.
