Growing up during in the Viet Nam era was a dificult time in our history but a "Great" lyric and song was born which made us proud to be Americans and very proud of those brave soldiers who fought to make "FREEDOM RING"!
Ballad Of The Green Beret -
Barry Sadler and Robin Moore
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
CHORUS:
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
CHORUS:
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.
