Veterans Day & Pledge Drive Special Tonight


Here is a salute to those who served in the U.S. armed forces on Veterans Day.  These gents had obviously been doing some hard training in their M-4 Sherman tank at Fort Knox, Kentucky, from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information collection at the Library of Congress.


On that note, WEVL is in the middle of its Fall Pledge Drive, and tonight's Swing Shift Shuffle Fall Pledge Drive Special is a Veterans Day salute, so tune in and join me for the best of patriotic swing!
