These Are Our Men
Lt. Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift with Richard Arlen
by
These Are Our Men presents a wartime conversation featuring Lt. Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift and actor Richard Arlen. The title identifies Vandegrift as the featured military figure, while Arlen joins him for this program.
Listeners can expect a spoken radio presentation centered on its guests rather than a fictional drama. The pairing brings together a senior military leader and a familiar screen performer, offering a glimpse of wartime public broadcasting through the people invited to speak and the subjects they discuss.
The program’s appeal lies in hearing these two figures share the microphone during the final months of World War II. Its direct, conversational format offers a historical listening experience grounded in the voices and personalities named in the program title.
