    My husband served the Vietnam war. A few years ago he had a Vietnam ver hat on. Someone saluted him and thanks for your service. He felt he finally was recognized for what the men & women who served & died for a war the country did not support. It made him proud of his service.

      I like America and I am not a communist, but I disagreed with Vietnam war. Vietnam belongs to Vietnamese. Us French we were also kicked out of Indochine (Vietnam, Cambdge & Laos). Besides this land of yours belonged to Indians first. More than 10 millions of them were murdered.

    When I was in the service we had an NCO who was a nice guy and quite unassuming but not very big or tall and rather quiet. I noticed that one of his ears was damaged and I found out that he had been a Green Beret in Vietnam and his helicopter had crashed. He was severely injured and was thrown from the chopper on impact and had his ear nearly torn off and he had a broken leg. In his injured state he went back into the chopper and pulled two other injured soldiers from the wreckage before it exploded and burned. To this day I still respect and admire that quiet and unassuming man who was a real hero.

Fortunately, my other grandfather, was able to live until he was 96, being very active, coherent, and comfortable until just the last couple years. He even flew his plane into his 80s. Because he has someone to care for him, he was able to live out his days in his house, and go silently in his sleep.

    At my buddy's wedding in the eighties, he had the DJ play this song during dinner for his father, an ex Green Beret. Upon hearing this song, his father left the dias and got on the empty dance floor where he was joined by his five sons. They linked arms and sang along with the record. To this day, more than thirty years later, that memory still brings tears to my eyes.

I did have 3 of my 4 older brothers serve and it's been recently that I have understood the purpose of their sacrifice. My closest brother a Veteran of Vietnam, serving the US Navy just painfully passed away. He had been "Honorably" discharged and ALL the US Government would provide was an American flag to cover his casket, 2 uniformed pallbearers and a bugler to play Taps. No firing salute, not even a Chaplain ! I performed his eulogy. Even more sadly we live in Hampton, VA just across the bridge is Norfolk, VA Home of the US Atlantic fleet. Thank you to ALL serving Vets and those "Honorably" discharged. I salute everyone of you. It's ashamed this Nation will not provide you and your family an "Honorable" farewell.😢

      and what really gets my goat is the fact that most of those men where drafted, alot where put down as volunteers but that is because they went to another service after know they were going to be drafted. So it wasn't even their idea to be in the military but they had no choice, then when they manage to survive their nite mare tour of duty they come home and get abused (in more ways than just what the protesters did to them) Many, many, many of those men died alone, homeless on the streets or took their own life.

  • @jackyou7598
    @jackyou7598 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Listening to this song reminds me of Staff Sergeant Suponcic. He was a squad leader in 3/325 AIR, 82d Abn. During a training jump, he landed on a rucksack and I believe he broke his hip bone. He was out for about a year but fully recovered even though the doctor advised otherwise. As soon as he recovered he went to SFAS and soon thereafter he went to Q Course. While in Q-course he often came to our barracks during weekends and borrowed my 40 lbs dumb bells and he ruck-ran with them.
    Around the time he graduated from Q-Course, I left the Army and went back to civilian world. One day I met a former paratrooper assigned to our company. He told me that SSG J. Suponcic had died on a mission in Bosnia. His hummer had ran into a land mine.
    My story may be inaccurate because what I know about his SF career and parachute injury came from others in my platoon. But one thing I will always remember is that when I f'd up during training or in the garrison, SSG Suponcic (even though he wasn't my squad leader), sometime would approached me and gave me constructive criticism. And he never raised his voice. So SSG Suponcic is always gonna be my hero for his calm demeanor, exemplary leadership and perseverance through life. And he was a Green Beret.
    Thank you and God Bless.

Every service has their own special forces unit/s, all endure intense physical and mental endurance training plus other related needed skills since they operate in such small teams without reinforcements. All service members deserve the respect of the general population for the unbelievable courage it takes to run into a gunfight instead of away from it. We survive still as a nation because of the sacrifices of these individuals who dedicated their lives to the ideals of this country so others would never have to know the horrors of war. An old song but still one of the best.

    The ending of this song has brought me to tears since my childhood upon hearing it.My Great-Grandfather served in the Infantry,was all over the place.NA,German territory where his convoy was shelled,he rescued his brothers in arms while cover in shrapnel.He won 9 Medals,Which included Purple Heart,Bronze Star,and many first class sharp shooter medals.I'm sadden that he past away in '46/47 from the Shrapnel in his head just dislodging causing instant death.It took my family nearly 80+yrs to obtain his medal because his records were in a building fire in '75.

    This song came out when I was about 8 years old. For me, the Green Berets were the ultimate in American society. The song went to #1 I believe, written and sung by Sgt Barry Sandler. When I saw GIs coming home, being assaulted, verbally abused just a few years later- it made me sick to think people could take their anger out against these men who had been put through Hell- not because they wanted to, but because their Government asked them to go and their buddies were over their. Maybe the greatest shame America's people ever committed.

    I'm not in the military, but this cures my anxiety and gives me resilience on a stressful situation. On the other hand, my late neighbor was a korean war veteran. He served on an airborne division at 17. Purple heart and with ptsd, but he was a great man. He was at his most vulnerable when he spoke of that episode. The grandfather figure I never had and the closest to one. May he rest in peace.

    Above tall trees wild birds fly singing softly as a mother cries wiping tears from disbelieving eyes. Now watching she ponders a reason why. These birds are eagles in a cloudless sky with white heads held high. Proud and independent with two mighty wings which help them fly. Magnificent swift movements whence they slowly circle by singing in majestic beauty though I see a broken heart in this grieving mothers eyes. One bird is perched, the others soaring and with no effort seem to try as she marvels upon flight so graceful and becomes enchanted with such boastful lullabies. It is perfection upon a masters canvas painted within late pastel skies and blended poetically splendid though see a broken heart in this grieving mothers eyes. These Ambassadors to this nation our for-fathers did apply sing of heroes for liberty - to this I testify. Now aloft as they are winging distant bells begin ringing and this earthly choir continues singing though I see a broken heart in this disbelieving grieving mothers eyes, Now listening she wipes a cheek to ponder a reason why. The wild birds sing; Oh say have you seen the many stars in our spacious sky? There may be one for every woman or brave man whom fought knowing they may die. So reminisce upon their hopes, their dreams they sing, do this often with a sigh and never forget defenders of democracy. Freedom is the reason why. by JWP

    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.
    Silver wings upon their chests,
    These are men, America's best,
    One hundred men we'll 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 take from the Green Beret.
    Silver wings upon their chests,
    These are men, America's best,
    Men who mean just what they say,
    The brave men of the Green Beret
    Back at home a young wife waits,
    Her Green Beret has met his fate,
    He has died for those oppressed,
    Leaving her this 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

    If you listen to any of the patriotic military music from before WWI or to "over there" from WWI, these songs talk exclusively about bravery and the glory of battle. "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" talked about home with a bawdy alternative chorus about native girls, but didn't talk about death.
    What strikes me most about this song is although it talks about the bravery of the soldiers, it has lines like "fearless men who jump and die" or about the young wife waiting at home about to learn that her husband has died. I don't mean to trivialize the bravery or honor of anyone in the military, but the overwhelming message for me in this song is that these men are undergoing a very vigorous selection process that ends with death. Although there are plenty of lines that discuss the worthiness of the men, there aren't any lines that specifically say it is worth it to "jump and die." One can infer from the omission that these worthy men are being wasted. It's a subversive song at its core, but songs properly honoring men in the military are few and far between these days.

Those brave, honourable and courageous men and women of the armed forces personnel around the world truthfully deserve better respect, appreciation, gratitude and support for all the dangers they face during their careers among other things they have to endure they all deserve way better treatment for all they do

      You are obviously from a family of heroes. If you too spread your good values and honourable behavior to those around then you too are a man worthy of respect despite being disabled. Shalom from our southern border.

      ILAN TEE thank you very much. I apologized to the NAVY recruitment officer for wasting his paper. Someone once told me to lie, I told him I could not because I could not waste any more paper.

    I am not a US citizen. I was young and I was a soldier. I was on the front line for 15 continuous years, fighting for our very right to be, as Christian in the Muslim ocean of the Middle East. The Veterans Hallelujah bring tears to my eyes every time I play it but, nevertheless: Oorah!!!
