Video tribute to the song by Barry Sadler; the Ballad of the Green Beret Please also watch my video tribute to our Vietnam Veternas • Tribute to Vietnam Vet...
My brother Mark was a Green Berets air born He left us in 2006 but this songs remindes me of him RIP brother Mark HowellHe was a real bad ass !! Cancer 2006 took him from us ; ' )
My dad volunteered for the Navy at the age of 17, in 1942 with his widowed mother’s permission. He fought in the South Pacific during WWII and was at the Battle of Midway. He was a radioman, a skill he maintained his whole life and had a ham radio license. He died in 2017 at the age of 93, I miss him very much. He loved his country and his family. God bless all veterans, thank you for your sacrifices.
My father was the Chief Medical Officer for the Royal Australian Regiment in Viet Nam. He was from Bendigo, AU. He met my mother who was a Dutch nurse from Apeldoorn, NL. They met as she was was working at the orphanage in Vung Tau. He was visiting to see that the medical treatments were satisfactory. My father was visiting at FSPB, Fire Support Patrol Base Coral. There was a fierce engagement with the NVA. At the time there was a group of 6 Green Beret that were there to advise on NVA movements. When the NVA attacked, my father was near them and they swore to protect him. Two died when a RPG exploded, but the other 4 fought with all they had. My father survived with a little shrapnel in his leg. In no small measure to the fearless men of the Green Beret.
Born 1960, grew up in Vietnam era; I believe this is the first song I memorized, my Uncle J served 2 tours in Vietnam, came back safe but PTSD. I planned a military career, Rt knee kept me out. I love all the military, respect and admire them. We are free. I love Vietnam Vets. Thank you all military Vets from every branch. God Bless America!
Nicht nur die Americans , es sind in den vielen Kriegen leider zu viele Menschen gestorben , Familien wurden aus gelöscht 😢 warum können wir nicht in Frieden neben einander leben ? Warum muß einer immer größer immer reicher wie der andere sein ? Warum können wir nicht in Frieden leben uns gegenseitig akzeptieren , ?
God bless them ! Even my grandson who is 7 respects Those who serve our country, His favorite song is red white and blue.! His grandpa served in Korea. And he also knows his great grandpa was in World war II. And he knows that his great grandma got a letter about her son. Who didn't come home. But, the good news was Great grandpa survived and came home. What a blessing.
God bless those who serve our Country! They deserve to be recognized! I'm the daughter of a soldier who served in WW2 in The Battle of the Bulge. And also the wife of a Soldier. He didn't go to Viet Nam, but some of his buddies did. And some didn't come home.
The proudest day of my life was becoming a Green Beret. Nothing in world can ever shake me! I went in as a kid from the streets of Newark and Irvington NJ and came out a man who takes nothing but looks for no trouble, but if I am faced with it I will deal with it the best way I can. Trained as one of America’s Finest Fighting Machine I will always stand for the Honor of this Great country and fight for all our freedoms. God bless America
Thank you for your service. My son is USAF enlisted week after 911. He is now M/Sgt USAF. Bless you. I was ARMY 1966 thru 1969. God bless are President TRUMP. (p.s. He will make S/Sgt .) God bless America and President Trump)
Thank you for your service Mr. Ricciardi. My youngest son, a corporal in the Marines and Expert Rifleman, is currently stationed in IRAQ. Your words above sound similar to his. I am proud and humbled to read from heros like you and my son. God bless you and God bless America!
In my opinion, this captures the real spirit of all the Viet Nam vets that served our country. They never lost a battle. They deserve our greatest respect.
I happened upon this video for the first time. Loved your comment. As one of those vets I appreciate it. I was USMC. Co. I, 3/9,3rd MarDiv. But I had a couple of friends who were Green Berets. And you are correct. We never lost in the field. The war was given away by A-hole politicians. thanks for the compliment.
I once served with the army during the Vietnam conflict. During this struggle for our freedom today I hope that you guys the Green berets will stand up for the American people and fight for our Liberty. Because America need the Green berets may God bless you all America is proud of our best. 🙏
I served and lost friends in Vietnam. These songs bring back memories. Tears at times. Thanks for having these songs where people can remember those who gave their lives that we may live
Yes Sir that is true I lost my dad in Vietnam and later many friends in warzone and never will forget what they have done and still do for us all they deserve much more respect from everyone God bless America and his heroes
I know it's been a long time since you lost your Brother,but I just wanted to say to you and his family how much I as an American and a free man I appreciate his sacrifice he and men like him are the heart and soul of this Great Nation once again thank you and God Bless.
THIS SONG GETS ME EVERY TIME ! I LEARNED THIS SONG IN THE LATE 60’S WHEN I WAS IN THE 6TH GRADE . MY TEACHER WAS THE CHOIR TEACHER AND SHE TAUGHT US THIS SONG TO SING AT THE ASSEMBLY FOR THE PARENTS . THATS WHEN SCHOOLS WERE TEACHING CHILDREN GOOD THINGS ! SO TO THIS DAY WHENEVER I HEAR THIS SONG ITGETS ME EVERY TIME . WITH MUCH RESPECT 😔
My grandfather was a Sargent and a Paratrooper for the gGreen Berets in the Vietnam war. He listened to this song all the time in his car and when it was played at his funeral when he passed (12-12-12 R.I.P. Papa) I broke down. I listen to this song all the time to remember him and all veterans who put their lives on the line during the war. Thank you for this video, and God Bless.
Served a tour with the 6th Special Forces Group at Ft Bragg, 3 tours with the 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam, 2 tours with the 10th Special Forces Group at Ft Devens and 1 4year tour with the highly classified "Detachment "A" Berlin Brigade in Eastern Europe. 75 years old now and if I could I would do it all over again if I could serve with same guys I did in combat so many years ago. De Oppresso Liber.
I dated a couple of 5th Special Forces soldiers when I lived near Ft. Devens., i had great respect for the job they did. I also developed a good bs meter for knowing when I met some stolen valor guy, there’s a lot of those around.
I was a Hospital Corpsman in 67 -69. The Green Beret Airborne Medics trained in Ft Sam Houston where I was stationed. I'm pretty sure some of the men I hung out with on base didn't come back and they were all good guy. Some were probably not as old as I was (and I was only 19 when I went in the Army). Too young to see the type of combat they were sent to the middle of. I saw men almost fresh from the battlefield (a day or so after) that I was sure wouldn't make it but they did and they all wanted to go back again. I prayed every single night and day and still think of those who didn't come home at all - the POWs, etc etc.
My God, im a full-blooded filipino, never stepped on american land but this song makes me cry everytime. The love and dedication these soldiers have for there country is just so touching, it makes so emotional everytime. Only today as i type, i played it 7 times with the other versions.
10 years adgo today I lost my airborne soldier a proud member of the 173d Airborne (The Herd) I stumbled across this tonight and remember him singing this song many times.
Families at home sacrifice too. I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for doing your part supporting your airborne soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our freedom.
Love you pals. We will transport you anywhere. USAF here. All of us will get you there. We are all, a force as one America. We have your back. It takes all of us. Never forget that. We are all. The most professional. In the world. There is no doubt. The most dangerous aoldiers, on the planet.
Lot of memories here. I was in Charlie Company, 5th Group '71-'74. We had to sing this every day in our first phase training. I still remember all the words.
Thanks to you and your brothers my 2 girls can sleep safe in theirs beds tonight, no words describe how grateful we are for you and your brothers, thank you for your service
I am not sure how anyone could give a thumbs down. My Grandfather was in the navy for the Korean war, he later succumbed to dementia. I stayed with him and my grandma due to this, and he would have horrible nightmares. Saddens me that citizens do not understand. I thank everyone! I live across the street from a Barracks, and no matter the chance, I will always salute and give thanks. May not seem like much. i read somewhere tho that soldiers actually do not like being thanked. maybe since it is North Dakota, soldiers, officers, EMT's, I try to always say thank you. even school janitors! thank you, for protecting us and giving the United States a piece of mind!
My Uncle was a Green Beret. Saw the Green Beret Movie today. For the first time in a number of years. Just had to look up the song and give it a listen. And pay Homage to all that have made it possible for us to live free.
I was in the Army Reserves and in 1971 I served the two weeks of training at Ft. Devens, MA. Ft. Devens was the first stop for the Green Berets returning from Viet Nam. In the mess hall one day a group of Berets entered and all at my table (reserves) stood up and saluted them (the were not officers but we did not care). They were so young and I confess I was in awe of them. That night we were at a local bar and several of them were also there. I approached them and showed my respect and told them I actually felt guilty being in the reserves while they were on the front lines. Their response was "you are in the service and if and when you are called you will do what we do and there's nothing to feel guilty about. Now drag your chairs over and let's drink as comrades in arms." You can add class and style to tough as nails. They earned and deserve the ultimate respect.
My husband was a Rhodesian and he fought in the Rhodesian war. The RLI in Rhodesia wore green berets. They fought alongside blacks and whites against Mugabe. IWe were proud of our men. Unfortunately they are not now allowed to March on poppy day to remember the fallen. Look at Zimbabwe now. I listen to this song often and am proud my husband was part of the black and white Rhodesians who fought. This song brings a lump to my throat. Our brave men. Politics interfered. I saulte all men who fight for their country.
I had the opportunity to work with troopers from the 8th Special Forces Group at Fr Gulick, Panama Canal Zone in the late 1960s and early 1970s. All were professionals and good guys!
I was in high school when this song came out. The Vietnam War was 75% of the news all day long it seemed. When I graduated I joined the Marines. I have respect for every member of every service. Although this song about the Green Berets, I still stand up and salute when this song is on. God Bless America!❤🇺🇸
I lost my uncle's and my father in wwtwo my husband went to vietnam no more war no more my country was destroyed grew up with nothing no more it messes everybody up for the rest of there lives me god have mercy on us
The warriors suffer in silence, travelers between two worlds, rejected by some , praised by others, but eternally confused as to whether they'd seen the faces of angels, or awakened from a dream.
This song always makes me cry, but I still love it. This is what I heard when my husband went to Vietnam, he came back safe, but still suffers. Now our son is in the riverines, navy, our daughter is Air Force. We are so proud of all our soldiers, but I would like to say thank you to all the wife's, fathers mothers and dads, who wait at home and pray they don't get that knock on the door. Or listen to some smart ass, setting at Starbucks,who has no idea about honor or sacrifice, they just believe because they showed up they should get a trophy. God bless you! I proud of our soldiers and their families, we love you all.
I remember in 1970 or early 71, the Principal came to one of my classes and took out one of my classmates, her mother had just had a couple of visitors, an Army Chaplin and a another soldier. Her Dad was killed a few days short of his return.
The sacrifice is also that of the family supporting our military women and men. I thank you for your service supporting your loved ones who give us all our freedom. We all owe your husband, daughter and son a very special gratitude.
I was in 3 Corp, Vietnam, I flew hurts with the 162 Assault Helicopter Company. We supported the Green Berets looking for a NVA Brigade around Phuoc Vinh and Thanksgiving Day, 1967. A team consisting of 2 Americans and 4 Mercinaries was outside the perimeter setting up listening posts. Contact was made and the Company CO went out on the rescue chopper and had to climb down a rope ladder to rescue the troops, he was shot off the ladder and died. He was an excellent Commander. I still think about him. He was from Texas, San Antonio.. and too many brave ones die young.
Even though this song pertains to a specific group of soldiers, the story it tells can be appreciated by all soldiers, whether Army, Navy or Air Force. Each one of them does their duty admirably to give us plain folk the freedom we so easily take for granted. To all the men and women who put their lives at risk, past and present, I give you a hearty thank you.
what, no Marines? Just kidding! I was a merchant marine sailor, we had officers but we could salute them 1 finger at a time, plus we got paid way better then military folks.
My brother Michael was a Green Beret. In 1983, Michael was tragically killed in Morocco while serving our country to train and assist the Moroccan military to eradicate middle eastern terrorist groups. According to some sources, these middle eastern groups are linked to the terrorists responsible for the 911 attack. Currently, I advocate against transgenderism - for men who say they are women, who are going into women's restrooms, locker rooms, and even rape crisis centers - not to mention stealing their sports trophies and scholarships. I advocate to save the innocent girls, who are being brainwashed into thinking they are boys, and take puberty blockers and testosterone and even have a bilateral mastectomy as young as 14-years-old. If my brother were alive today, he would be standing and speaking out with me. But, he's not here because he died for our freedom, including our first amendment right to free speech. Please consider speaking out with me - against the idea that a man can be a woman, a girl can be a boy. (I speak out monthly in St Augustine, Florida and will be in NYC May 13 - day before Mother's Day.) I need men (and women) to stand with me. This is NOT a feminist issue. This is a HUMAN issue - and we sane people who know the difference between a man and woman need to speak up and stop all this nonsense. Thank you!
I lived my teens during the Vietnam War. Watched my brother go off to serve in Vietnam. Watched my mom age over that year he spent at war. Fortunately he was able to come home and continue his life. This song is one I played over and over while he was in Vietnam. It still brings a tear to my eye and an ache to my heart every time I hear it. Thank you to all that have served AND their families they left behind. You deserved a much much better reception when you returned than you faced. I was ashamed of our young citizens - those that should have stood with you rather than against you. Some (J. Fonda) I can never forgive. God bless you all. And God bless all who have served before and since.
@@DavidSmith-nk2rc I am doing well, thank you for asking. My feelings about the soldiers our country sends to war have not changed. Each war brings new heartache. I continue to stand behind those that serve. They are the heart and soul of our country and we all owe them so much. My brother has finally - after all these years- begun to talk a bit about Vietnam. He is doing well - enjoying his retirement. I hope our country remembers what it truly stands for in all the current turmoil going on in the USA today.
I know what life does to these men and their families! I was married at 16 to a boy who went to Vietnam, came home a man, and so changed! War does that to those people forced to go fight! God Bless all our soldiers!
This song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Many THANKS TO ALL WHOM SERVED THIS GREAT NATION! VERY PROUD OF EACH OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I was a combat engineer. 12 bravo. I have nothing but respect for our special forces. I could fight or build. I would have been a good partner in a fight. God bless america. And the us army
To my hero Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez, Rest in Peace. If God almighty ever decided to unleash you on Satan and his demons, there would certainly be hell to pay.
As a UK citizen all I can offer are my unflinching respect and admiration, to all the serving men, women and veterans. Prayers of support and healing for the deceased and their families. Our two nations have historically fought both against each other and side by side as comrades, allies, brothers in arms. May God continue to bless and keep you all.

@@arapahosundancer I shudder to think anyone would mention the green baret and Donald Trump in the same bracket it's not only dishonor but also disrespectful
@@theiceman9247 My uncle, now deceased was a green beret and did 2 combat tours in Vietnam. He came home a war hero and served our Northern Arapaho Nation as a Tribal Councilman for over 40 years. Your right Trump's name should not be mentioned in any conversation about the green berets. Trump doesn't have what it takes to be one.
I remember the day a classmate brought in a 45 and said he was related to the man who wrote this song. ( His mother’s brother in law) The teacher played it for the class. I was in the 4th grade at the time and that is one childhood memory I will never forget.
I love this song. When I hear this song I think of my Dad. He was Green Beret. The words have such meaning. They give me chills. So to all Branches of the Service. Thank you for both your bravely and your service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The sacrifices of those brave men on Omaha, and worldwide.the bravery, America has secured the safety of Europe, of the West. of the World. We thank you for that. God Bless America.

Hello how are you doing today..?
Thanks for including a photo of the Spanish Green Berets.
My dad gave 32 years of service to this country. Multiple tours to Korea, and Vietnam. Then, like so many, lost him to Agent Orange.

I saw men almost fresh from the battlefield (a day or so after) that I was sure wouldn't make it but they did and they all wanted to go back again. I prayed every single night and day and still think of those who didn't come home at all - the POWs, etc etc.
Hey how are you doing…?
My God, im a full-blooded filipino, never stepped on american land but this song makes me cry everytime. The love and dedication these soldiers have for there country is just so touching, it makes so emotional everytime. Only today as i type, i played it 7 times with the other versions.
My uncle ray was a green beret and a vietnam veteran god bless them all.

Hey how are you doing…?
I am not sure how anyone could give a thumbs down. My Grandfather was in the navy for the Korean war, he later succumbed to dementia. I stayed with him and my grandma due to this, and he would have horrible nightmares. Saddens me that citizens do not understand. I thank everyone! I live across the street from a Barracks, and no matter the chance, I will always salute and give thanks. May not seem like much. i read somewhere tho that soldiers actually do not like being thanked. maybe since it is North Dakota, soldiers, officers, EMT's, I try to always say thank you. even school janitors! thank you, for protecting us and giving the United States a piece of mind!
Americans can be Proud that so many defend our true ideals.thank you who have served and are serving.
My Uncle was a Green Beret. Saw the Green Beret Movie today. For the first time in a number of years. Just had to look up the song and give it a listen. And pay Homage to all that have made it possible for us to live free.
I was in the Army Reserves and in 1971 I served the two weeks of training at Ft. Devens, MA. Ft. Devens was the first stop for the Green Berets returning from Viet Nam. In the mess hall one day a group of Berets entered and all at my table (reserves) stood up and saluted them (the were not officers but we did not care). They were so young and I confess I was in awe of them. That night we were at a local bar and several of them were also there. I approached them and showed my respect and told them I actually felt guilty being in the reserves while they were on the front lines. Their response was "you are in the service and if and when you are called you will do what we do and there's nothing to feel guilty about. Now drag your chairs over and let's drink as comrades in arms." You can add class and style to tough as nails. They earned and deserve the ultimate respect.
@Dcn. Vince Ricciardi ---a long time ago Vince, seems like a different life ago. Best 2U.
My husband was a Rhodesian and he fought in the Rhodesian war. The RLI in Rhodesia wore green berets. They fought alongside blacks and whites against Mugabe. IWe were proud of our men. Unfortunately they are not now allowed to March on poppy day to remember the fallen. Look at Zimbabwe now. I listen to this song often and am proud my husband was part of the black and white Rhodesians who fought. This song brings a lump to my throat. Our brave men. Politics interfered. I saulte all men who fight for their country.
Hey how are you doing…?
I had the opportunity to work with troopers from the 8th Special Forces Group at Fr Gulick, Panama Canal Zone in the late 1960s and early 1970s. All were professionals and good guys!
This is really the army people who have died we appreciate your service for saving us from world war three
I enlisted in the US Army in 1969. Right out of college. Never had a regret. God bless. Ron
Thank you for your service and the freedom that I enjoy.
Thank you all for your service. God bless America..
Hey how are you doing?😊
I was in high school when this song came out. The Vietnam War was 75% of the news all day long it seemed. When I graduated I joined the Marines. I have respect for every member of every service. Although this song about the Green Berets, I still stand up and salute when this song is on. God Bless America!❤🇺🇸
Thank you. You don't have have my back you stand in front of us. This is why a can lay down at night with my wife and be safe.
I lost my uncle's and my father in wwtwo my husband went to vietnam no more war no more my country was destroyed grew up with nothing no more it messes everybody up for the rest of there lives me god have mercy on us
The warriors suffer in silence, travelers between two worlds, rejected by some , praised by others, but eternally confused as to whether they'd seen the faces of angels, or awakened from a dream.
Men who mean just what they say. Amen.
This video is the collection of very interesting photos. I like those pictures. Thanks.
Many thanks ,a thousand thanks to those great soldiers who defend the nations and the freedom .
This song always makes me cry, but I still love it. This is what I heard when my husband went to Vietnam, he came back safe, but still suffers. Now our son is in the riverines, navy, our daughter is Air Force. We are so proud of all our soldiers, but I would like to say thank you to all the wife's, fathers mothers and dads, who wait at home and pray they don't get that knock on the door. Or listen to some smart ass, setting at Starbucks,who has no idea about honor or sacrifice, they just believe because they showed up they should get a trophy. God bless you! I proud of our soldiers and their families, we love you all.
Bless you, your husband and your children. My grandson is graduating from Naval Boot Camp next week. I am so proud of him
Norma Trimble good talk
I remember in 1970 or early 71, the Principal came to one of my classes and took out one of my classmates, her mother had just had a couple of visitors, an Army Chaplin and a another soldier. Her Dad was killed a few days short of his return.
The sacrifice is also that of the family supporting our military women and men. I thank you for your service supporting your loved ones who give us all our freedom. We all owe your husband, daughter and son a very special gratitude.
Amen
In memory of all of America's heroes and especially for Master Sgt. Roy Benavidez!
Hey how are you doing?
Such a beautiful and sad song! Anita Jackson, SA
RESPECT! Best regards from Brazil, mates. 👊🤨
I was in 3 Corp, Vietnam, I flew hurts with the 162 Assault Helicopter Company. We supported the Green Berets looking for a NVA Brigade around Phuoc Vinh and Thanksgiving Day, 1967. A team consisting of 2 Americans and 4 Mercinaries was outside the perimeter setting up listening posts. Contact was made and the Company CO went out on the rescue chopper and had to climb down a rope ladder to rescue the troops, he was shot off the ladder and died. He was an excellent Commander. I still think about him. He was from Texas, San Antonio.. and too many brave ones die young.
I'm losing my government benefit hacker's got control ofmy life I've think I lost all I have got any mail about any I think they getting I need help
Even though this song pertains to a specific group of soldiers, the story it tells can be appreciated by all soldiers, whether Army, Navy or Air Force.
Each one of them does their duty admirably to give us plain folk the freedom we so easily take for granted.
To all the men and women who put their lives at risk, past and present, I give you a hearty thank you.
what, no Marines? Just kidding! I was a merchant marine sailor, we had officers but we could salute them 1 finger at a time, plus we got paid way better then military folks.
My brother Michael was a Green Beret. In 1983, Michael was tragically killed in Morocco while serving our country to train and assist the Moroccan military to eradicate middle eastern terrorist groups. According to some sources, these middle eastern groups are linked to the terrorists responsible for the 911 attack.
Currently, I advocate against transgenderism - for men who say they are women, who are going into women's restrooms, locker rooms, and even rape crisis centers - not to mention stealing their sports trophies and scholarships. I advocate to save the innocent girls, who are being brainwashed into thinking they are boys, and take puberty blockers and testosterone and even have a bilateral mastectomy as young as 14-years-old.
If my brother were alive today, he would be standing and speaking out with me. But, he's not here because he died for our freedom, including our first amendment right to free speech. Please consider speaking out with me - against the idea that a man can be a woman, a girl can be a boy. (I speak out monthly in St Augustine, Florida and will be in NYC May 13 - day before Mother's Day.)
I need men (and women) to stand with me. This is NOT a feminist issue. This is a HUMAN issue - and we sane people who know the difference between a man and woman need to speak up and stop all this nonsense. Thank you!
My daddy was 101 and 82nd as for myself I was USAF pilot and proud of my families history
Hello Keath. How are you doing?
@@DavidSmith-nk2rc Hi DAVE
I lived my teens during the Vietnam War. Watched my brother go off to serve in Vietnam. Watched my mom age over that year he spent at war. Fortunately he was able to come home and continue his life. This song is one I played over and over while he was in Vietnam. It still brings a tear to my eye and an ache to my heart every time I hear it. Thank you to all that have served AND their families they left behind. You deserved a much much better reception when you returned than you faced. I was ashamed of our young citizens - those that should have stood with you rather than against you. Some (J. Fonda) I can never forgive. God bless you all. And God bless all who have served before and since.
Hello Cherry. How are you doing?
@@DavidSmith-nk2rc I am doing well, thank you for asking. My feelings about the soldiers our country sends to war have not changed. Each war brings new heartache. I continue to stand behind those that serve. They are the heart and soul of our country and we all owe them so much. My brother has finally - after all these years- begun to talk a bit about Vietnam. He is doing well - enjoying his retirement. I hope our country remembers what it truly stands for in all the current turmoil going on in the USA today.
I know what life does to these men and their families! I was married at 16 to a boy who went to Vietnam, came home a man, and so changed! War does that to those people forced to go fight! God Bless all our soldiers!
This song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Many THANKS TO ALL WHOM SERVED THIS GREAT NATION! VERY PROUD OF EACH OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
My partner passed but when I hear this song it's like he's singing along. He served in the forces and was so proud. 😘
Hello Bella. How are you doing?
@@DavidSmith-nk2rc am OK thank you for asking.
I was a combat engineer. 12 bravo. I have nothing but respect for our special forces. I could fight or build. I would have been a good partner in a fight. God bless america. And the us army
Ex Navy here... But have utmost respect for Army Special Forces!!!! Oohrah!!!
To my hero Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez, Rest in Peace. If God almighty ever decided to unleash you on Satan and his demons, there would certainly be hell to pay.
Amen bro TMM will be there
Master Sergeant was a great American patriot and hero. More should know his story. He and Audie Murphy are my all-time heroes.
As a UK citizen all I can offer are my unflinching respect and admiration, to all the serving men, women and veterans. Prayers of support and healing for the deceased and their families. Our two nations have historically fought both against each other and side by side as comrades, allies, brothers in arms. May God continue to bless and keep you all.
Hello Jacqueline. How are you doing?
Absolutely beautiful and very beautifully done!!❤️👍🌹✝️👍👏❤️💕🛐🇺🇸💗🔯🕎🌄🇱🇷

May all their souls rest in eternal peace.
Hello Jeanette. I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?
This song is about everyone who gave there lives to keep this country free which most have forgotten about it's about all military
Hello how are you doing today…?
My dad died 15 years ago today. He was a Ret. Major that served in Green Berets in Vietnam- William Grant Bost. I miss him and I appreciate his service along with everyone else that served.
So proud to be a Green Beret Baby 1964 Panama Canal Zone my hero SGM Marvin T Bridges and to all our ARMED FORCES who put there lives on the line for our country... Thank You
I fully agree. Thank you to all our armed forces.

This is for the four Green Berets who were killed in Africa a couple weeks ago. You will not be forgotten. God Bless the USA
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men & women stand ready to fight on their behalf
Like Donald Von Clownstick Trump has!
trump would have been there with them but he has bone spurs.
@@arapahosundancer I shudder to think anyone would mention the green baret and Donald Trump in the same bracket it's not only dishonor but also disrespectful
@@theiceman9247 My uncle, now deceased was a green beret and did 2 combat tours in Vietnam. He came home a war hero and served our Northern Arapaho Nation as a Tribal Councilman for over 40 years. Your right Trump's name should not be mentioned in any conversation about the green berets. Trump doesn't have what it takes to be one.
Find ich Klasse das man stolz auf sein Land sein kann, bei uns in🇩🇪ist es zur Zeit ein wenig schwierig, wäre auch gern stolz auf mein🇩🇪, 😢
I remember the day a classmate brought in a 45 and said he was related to the man who wrote this song. ( His mother’s brother in law) The teacher played it for the class. I was in the 4th grade at the time and that is one childhood memory I will never forget.
Hello. How are you doing?
I was a teenager when this song came out I cried then and to night I cry again for you Brave Men of Green beret, God Bless you men.
Me too.
Thank you for serving and God bless you.
Hello how are you doing today??
As a South African I enjoyed listening to this song, every now and then . Yes this song and the Green Berets are very special
My husband wore a black beret when he was in Vietnam, did 2 tours was in recon.He passed in Jan. He was and will always be my hero.
Hey how are you doing…?
Praise God for our brave men and women who serve!! Where would we be without you!!
Hello how are you doing…?
I love this song. When I hear this song I think of my Dad. He was Green Beret. The words have such meaning. They give me chills. So to all Branches of the Service. Thank you for both your bravely and your service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hello Eileen. How are you doing?
