Stars For Defense

Created by Federal Civil Defense Administration as a public
service program to be broadcast by participating radio stations
throughout the country with music and practical advice for
Americans fearful of an impending attack during the Cold War.


Stars of Defense was a series of recordings made between 1956 and
1967 for the United States Federal Civil Defense Administration
as a public service program to be broadcast by participating
radio stations throughout the country. The intent was to keep
Americans prepared for threats from the Cold War. As an early
episode states, "Real family preparedness is a big contribution
to world peace, for if our defense is strong, no enemy would dare
attack us."
