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!

Hello sir:

AC/DC is a rock group, while this song is not military, the video is, how ever when combined together is sure is something nice to not only see but to hear:

Here's to all the Aviators out there:

"THUNDER STRUCK"

I don't think this may constitute as a "military" song. But I dig and my vote goes to Creedence Clearwater Revivial: Fortunate Son

The Ballad Of The Green Beret!  Heard it first played by my Dad when I was just a wee lad and it's stuck with me ever since.

I know that I shared a lot of songs before, but I just have to share this one, specifically because it is kind of personal for me.  I always had a special place in my heart for those in the military, but didn't actually plan on joining.  After 9-11 I decided that I needed to join the service.  Like many of those who joined back then, I did not do it for the money, as a matter of fact I took a huge pay cut to join.

That would be Liberty Bell March!  I was at Lakenheath England when the British Base Commander position changed and they actually played it for the ceremony, you could hear a snicker going through those who were standing at attention.
