The "Big Red One" - The First Infantry Division "Hear Them from this Page" Soldiers of the Big Red One got music, news and information from the division authorized radio station "KLIK" at their base camp in Lai Khe -- with additional Vietnam-wide radio from AFVN. "Radio Lai Khe," as it was sometimes called, was first operated by the 1st ["Iron"] Brigade, and was moved later to the Division PIO office. Below, you can hear shows by and about the Big Red One again from radio recordings made during the Vietnam War. KLIK - Radio Lai Khe
