SUMMARY:Songs and Sounds of the War Years
DESCRIPTION:The popular music of the WW II years was far more than just entertainment. The U.S. Army quickly recognized the value of music as a force multiplier and vital connection to home\, creating the Armed Forces Radio Service to bring songs to troops in combat zones. Back home\, radios and phonographs poured out song after song of encouragement\, hope\, and spirit-lifting tunes for a nation dealing with rationing\, brutal work requirements\, shortages\, separation and constant worry. This program tells an amazing story of commitment\, courage\, and triumph through music that helped America win the war. Registration required.
