This review is from: A Soldier's Sad Story: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Black America 1966-73 (Audio CD)

As a radio air personality doing the Vietnam War we recived many sad stories in letter form, requesting that we
imform, there familys or love one they were ok. from the jungles of vietnam.I Was sitting in the radio station
about a month ago and i thought which songs we were airing doing the war and how could i honor all the American
soldiers that were fighting in Vietnam, So i decided to go on the internet and see what i could come up with and when I found This cd titled' A Soldier,s Sad Story'The Vietnam War Through The Eyes Of Black America'I look
toward Heaven and thank God that some one was thinking on my level about the black soldiers who had fought and
die,s for their country and i take this time to salute all our American Arm Forces for there great contribution they gave doing the Vietnam War doing the 60,70s I Pray that all of America will purchase this Historical cd before it,s vanish. Sincerely

This CD is more of a musical tale of Vietnam era than it is a story of how it was.
Not bad for what it is but not the story it depicts.
