From WDBJ7: Vietnam War radio legend Adrian Cronauer shares his memories
"Gooooooood morning, Vietnam!" Those words are forever immortalized in the 1987 film starring Robin Williams. The comic actor portrayed a character based on real-life Vietnam War disc jokey, Adrian Cronauer. Now retired, and living in Botetourt County, Cronauer recalls his days as a disc jockey for the Armed Forces Radio Services in Saigon between 1965 and 1966. Cronauer helped boost the spirits of troops, and brought a bit of American culture to the war-torn country.
Adrian Cronauer will appear at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 17th at Friendship Retirement Community in Roanoke. The talk is free and open to the public.
