April Fools’ Day, sometimes referred to as All Fools’ Day, is not a national
holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when people play 
practical jokes and hoaxes on each other.

In Italy, France and Belgium, children and adults traditionally tack paper fishes
on each other’s back as a trick and shout "April fish!" in their local languages.

Adrian Cronauer is a former U.S. Air Force sergeant and radio personality whose experiences as a popular Armed Forces Radio Service deejay in Vietnam inspired
the 1987 film Good Morning, Vietnam, starring Robin Williams. Cronauer co-wrote
the original story for the film. He was based in Saigon from 1965 to 1966. He called
his program the “Dawn Buster”.

Cronauer earned a master’s degree in Media Studies from the New School for
Social Research in New York City and a law degree from the University of
Pennsylvania. His practice concentrated on information and communications
law. He was also the head of an advertising agency and later worked as a
special assistant to the Director of the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing
