    "Fighting men of the Green Berets"

    rather Green Berets. I loved that tune in the 60s, My Uncles spent 3 tours in Nam, and my mothers brother a Green Beret bought me the 45, which I wore out. Still love that tune too.....:smile: Thanks my friend....!

    I think the artist was Sgt Barry Sandler but I could be wrong on the last name.

    Ballad of the Green Beret. My uncle was SF in Vietnam. Heard that song a lot at family reunions.

    Ballad of the Green Beret
    by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler and Robin Moore, copyright 1966
    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 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

    Silver wings upon their chest
    These are men, America's best
    One hundred men will test today
    But only three win 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 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.

    Seriously, 59 is onto something. They need a public service message on how to interact with police.

    That entire skit only ran about 3 minutes I think they should broadcast on the news for everyone to see.

    Mike Brown funeral tomorrow. Sharpton giving one of the eulogies. White House sending 3 aides to the funeral. I wonder if any of them are going to visit the injured officer too?

    Obuma's got his head to far up his Empirical ass to pay tribute to the officer; or send a delegation to do as much. Some Commander In Chief....!

    Sad very sad, at least some of citizens in this Nation, have began their GoFundme.com, initiatives, and the other public sentiment in favor of Officer Darren Wilson, who will suffer with PTSD, probably the rest of his life........!
