Fortunate Son Fortunate Son By: Creedence Clearwater Revival Presented by: Tom Musa, Ryan Campbell, Tony Haung and Patrick Fissler

“Some folks are born made to wave the flag, Ooh, they’re red, white and blue.” During the Vietnam War only the upper class got out of the draft. The majority of the population were born to go to war.

Between 1965 and 1973 roughly 1.7 million U.S. men were drafted. 76% of these men were from lower, middle and working class backgrounds.

CannonNeighborhood

The photo of the cannon is symbolic of war. Since the song is from the Vietnam War era. The photo of the neighborhood. Symbolizes the backgrounds of the majority of men drafted.

“Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, oh”  Fortunate son due to being a Senators’ son.  He avoided the draft Born silver spoon in hand.

Government controls everything Most government officials born into wealth.

Born into a successful family. Didn’t have to work hard to get where he is. Took everything for granted.

"It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son” Although the lead singer was not born into a military family he and other band members were drafted for the Vietnam war.

"It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no no no.” 21.8 percent of children in Boston, MA are below the poverty level.

"It ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no senators son, son.” It didn't matter who you were, if you were in good health and optimum condition in the eyes of the government, you were going to be drafted in the Vietnam war.

“It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no Some folks inherit star spangled eyes” Song represented the ongoing patriotic theme to support the country and soldiers at war. Many soldiers and citizens supported the early part of the war People started to get skeptical of the progress later and wanted to end October 15, 1969, event Moratorium started as a nationwide protest on the war and draft

Strong patriotism in the country during the Vietnam war “Unfortunate sons” were often drafted into war, had to fight an ongoing war without any hint of an end or a win” Selective Service was protested against by people who got drafted to go to war. “Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord And when you ask them, How much should we give?” “Ooh, they only answer More! More! More! yoh,”
