Chris Noel - 1966

Chris Noel Starred in Soldier In the Rain (a particularly great movie) with Steve McQueen and Girl Happy with Elvis Presley.  In the 1965 she started her show with AFRTS.  She went to Vietnam, braved sniper fire and survived a helicopter crash.  She shared those shows with us.  Thank you Chris!

Today she still helps the troops with the Vetsville Ceasefire House, a home for homeless veterans.

Roger Carroll - 1967

Roger enlisted during the Korean War and ended up at the network as an announcer.  Perfect place as he was an ABC network announcer.  Shortly after the war he was doing the Roger Carroll Show until well into the early 80s.  Super talent and a great guy.  Let's remember 1967

Clevelandaires - 1951

A while back I received a shipping case of disks from the Korean War.  A Chaplain had posted them to a different chaplain in theater.  The Clevelandaires I had never heard about.  NBC had run their show in 1950-51.  When they were being copied Travis wanted to know if they were from the 1930s....
