Adrian "GOOD MORNING VIETNAM" Cronaur

The Vietnam Conflict brought out the best and the worst of times. Our Country was engaged in a war many saw no reason to fight. For the fighting man or woman in Viet-Nam the entertainment provided by the Military was to put it bluntly boring. One of the few touches of home in an overseas assignment has always been Armed Forces Radio. In Viet-Nam the announcers were just that boring. Here at home Rock and roll disc jockeys were making their mark on the listening public and so it was to be when the voice of Airman Adrian Cronaur burst forth with his now famous………….. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning Viet-Nam!

Cronaur broke the mold when he became a personality playing the music the GI’s wanted to hear and inserting his own brand of humor. He will always be immortalized for his humanity and what he provided the home sick who were in country.

The Movie Good Morning Viet-Nam with Robin Williams portraying Cronaur is today a true American classic.

Continuing  service to his country Cronaur was appointed Vice Chair for Veterans for the Bush-Cheney Coalition in 2000.
