The name of the song that was "Voices that care." I saw this video on the flight home from Operation Desert Storm and still have a copy in my "war box."
The first Gulf War the United States was involved in was Operation Desert Storm. While the United States played a large role in the short operation they were not the only country involved.
Operation Desert Storm is also known as the First Gulf War. It was American coalition response to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq's Saddam Hussein. The first phase of the operation was Desert Shield to protect Saudi Arabia from invasion. The second phase was Desert Storms through an air and land war resulting in a decisive American victory in 1991.
Desert Storm did effect the United States because we lost some soldiers. The war helped the US to invent new weapons and helped the economy.
The Berlin Wall came down in 1989. The Soviets collapsed in 1990. Had the Soviets NOT collapsed, there would have been NO Operation Desert Storm in Jan-Feb 1991. The United States would not have conducted such an operation with an intact Soviet Union.
