Baby Boomers and remembering the songs of the Vietnam War

The music of the era defined the Baby Boomer generation so distinctly, that even four generations later, kids so far removed from the Vietnam War still associate certain songs with hippies, Hueys, and the sacrifice many Americans made fighting for this country. It’s safe to say these songs will always make all Americans remember the Vietnam War, long after the last of us Baby Boomers are gone.

Baby Boomers and Door to Door Salesmen

We Baby Boomers remember these door-to-door salesmen as a fixture in our neighborhoods, especially in the postwar boom years of the late 1940s and 1950s when home ownership and consumer spending were high. Their visits were a mix of personal service, product demonstration, and relationship-building, and they remain a nostalgic part of Baby Boomer memories.
