Produced by the U.S. Veterans Administration, the 'Here’s to Veterans' program was a long-running series of radio broadcasts designed to promote veteran services and programs. Pressed on vinyl records, each disc featured two 15-minute segments with popular music and era-specific content intended for public information and outreach.
Under a special arrangement with the American Federation of Musicians and Capitol Records, the series showcased performances and commentary by some of the era’s most celebrated artists—including The Beatles, Nat King Cole, Jo Stafford, Stan Kenton, and Les Paul—who not only presented their latest hits but also delivered messages highlighting VA benefits.
Spanning 35 years, from 1946 to 1981, the complete series encompassed more than 1,800 individual programs.
This is the only known acetate of the program in absolutely gorgeous NM condition. Accompanied by a photocopy of the 'Here's to Veterans' program notes, and a high-fidelity digital transfer (.wav file) of the acetate's contents on a USB stick.
