That'd be Ed Herlihy, newsreel voiceover guy extraordinaire. He narrates these ones too:

I love the dramatic music. It reminds me of old US newsreels from the 50's.

this vid needs a scene for scene =mashup= with similar Bush Empire newsreels.

I love Exclaimy Voice Announcer Man. Totally the same guy who would narrate the newsreels about the godless Reds secretly testing their godless nukes on the far side of the moon.

Sorry to re-open an already discussed topic (I missed the Saddam discussion). All I was doing was promoting an event on the anniversary (or close to it), and felt it was important. If we pull Challenger, what's next? Pearl Harbor? September 11? People died in these vids as well, but since it's not shown implicitly I thought it was OK.

...this was probly' with the cartoon, maybe a newsreel, and nekkin'..cool celluloid

FACTOID:
The group had been together more than 50 years when founder Lee Gaines died on July 15th, 1987, in his home of only one year, Helsinki, Finland. In a bizarre scenario that brought the group more attention in America than it had received in more than 30 years, Hugh Bryant sang at Lee Gaines’ funeral and upon completing the song died on the spot.

....choggie say, "Bees'some voodoo round' them a'currencies"....
