There are a ton of great songs about military life, that reference the military in some way; some of the more modern works may have a video associated with it, and some of the older classics continue to define the military experience to this day. From country to rock, ballads & pop, to more traditional flavors--did a particular song inspire, educate, or simply strike a chord with you? Please feel free to share any inspiring military-related music, any music or songs that makes you think of/or reminds you of your military service, as well as any links, photos, descriptions or anything that helps you tell your story. The idea here is to have a fun and thought provoking discussion, which will be fun, informative, and provide a means to tell our stories... and to learn about one another as well as our sister services in the process. Wishing you all the best, I look forward to hearing from you, and interacting with you all in the threads!

Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf

 

I have shown most of my soldiers this video.  The depiction of Vietnam is pretty powerful.

A classic by an accomplished and infinitely influential musician, also a Marine Band Leader, awesome choice and something I think everyone can relate to from 4 to 84 years young!  Thanks for sharing!

SSgt Olson, is this the one that you were talking about?

 

"Run Through the Jungle" by Credence Clearwater Revival

 

the second song/video is the same as the first, just set to video from the movie "Platoon."

Quarter notes and Hank's half time
Are poundin' on this heart of mine
Song to song, I pass my time
With these speakers on ten
Your good and gone keeps me up all night
Along with Songs In The Key Of Life
I'm either gonna get over you
Or I'm gonna blow out my ears
Yeah, you're out there now
Doin' God knows how, and I'm stuck here
Havin' a record year
Yeah, I'm havin' a record year
