 ATTENTION Military Brats April 19, 2001

If you've ever been proud of, or miss, being a Military Brat, this is a collection you don't want to pass up. As a "lifer" Military Brat and a Vietnam-era soldier, many of the songs and bugle calls on this recording were a part of the daily background, but two additional songs ("We are All a Family" and "Trinkets and Beads") really sum up a unique lifestyle; every Military Family should hear them - as either a reminder or a prophesy.If you're just looking for patriotic music or select bugle calls (as I was), this is a great collection; if the military is (or was) a significant part of your daily life, it becomes far more. Thanks, NMFA, for a great production.
Great Collection of US Srvice Bands January 7, 2002

This is the real stuff here. Patriotic music played by the premier bands of the US Armed Forces. This is not a random collection of bands just playing patriotic numbers. These are the real thing, played in superlative fashion, and recorded in top notch manner. There is something for everyone here. Great Sousa marches, patriotic pieces, vocal selections, and army bugle calls. Check out the Altissimo! catalog for additional recordings by these great bands.
Very Good Compilation February 25, 2007

Anchor's Aweigh's sound quality was the weakest but passable. USAF Band recordings were OK. US Army band and the Marine Corp band were good to very good. On a good stereo system the National Anthem and Army Goes Rolling Along were simply magnificent. All the other recordings except the few mentioned above were also of good quality. The Bugle Calls were simply excellent. We use them to teach our children the flag raising and retreat ceremony.
For a military family, this compilation is excellent, "Trinkets and Beads" brings back fond memories. As for the other praises, it may be difficult for a civilian family to appreciate.
The Music is Fantastic!!! May 28, 2009

I really enjoyed the tracks on this album, and if you enjoy traditional
patriotic standards, you will also really enjoy this album. Many reviews have failed to mention that this album
was made in association with the NMFA, which is a great organization that supports the families of service members. The idea that this album is exploitative or is engaging in war profiteering
is a little extreme. Simply, it is a collection of MUSIC that is ideal for a Fourth of
July or Memorial Day celebration. I hope this helps those of you who just
want to know about the album without the political commentary.
Just Great Music June 17, 2009
Al Mccree (Brentwood, TN USA)
Great music just never goes out of style. This has about every patriotic song I would need for any occasion. A really superb collection of recordings performed by the great bands of this era. Altissimo has a money back guarantee for dissatisfied customers. Sousa's Greatest Hits
