Annotation
The song title "Classified 1A" (Kapp Records # K-2134), performed by Cher, and written by Sonny Bono, referred to the draft classification of those eligible to fight in Vietnam. It is a narrative from the perspective of a soldier in Vietnam, dying in the mud, who declares his love for his wife, and sadly reflects that his wife will receive the bad news soon that "Mrs., your not Mrs. anymore".
