Military Medley
Gene Autry's Melody Ranch Radio Show
(December 7, 1947)

Gene Autry's December 7, 1947 Melody Ranch radio show marked the anniversary of Pearl Harbor and Gene's show was a salute to "a guy called G.I. Joe, Infantryman, Sailor, Flyer, Marine – American!" Gene opened the show by saluting those who served in the military with a medley that includes "The Marines' Hymn," "The Caissons Go Rolling Along," "Anchors Aweigh," and "The U.S. Air Force Song."

Gene Autry is backed by Carl Cotner's Orchestra for this performance.

Arranged by Carl Cotner
