BAGRAM AIRFIELD, AFGHANISTAN – Friends and family of military members may now dedicate a song to their deployed service member via email. The song will air on AFN (American Forces Network)-Afghanistan’s Freedom Radio.

Though AFN-Afghanistan doesn’t have every song ever recorded, the Freedom Radio music vault contains over 50,000 titles, representing top-40, country, R&B and classic rock. When possible, the radio jocks will pull dedications from the mail box, read your short message and play the dedication.

Freedom Radio plays “Hits from the Home Front” throughout the country of Afghanistan and at Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan. Disk jockeys based out of Bagram Airfield keep service members informed of issues at their location as well as the latest Morale, Welfare and Recreation events and services. To make a music request or dedication, e-mail the disk jockey’s in the Freedom Radio studio at freedomradio@swa.army.mil. In addition to the ability to dedicate a song, www.defenselink.mil/afn-afghanistan is the one-stop location for issues of Freedom Watch Magazine and Freedom Watch Afghanistan television news.
