My son is a Green Beret. I was at Fort Bragg to watch him become one in one of the most honored and emotional ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed. He is a commander in commands six different 12 man Green Beret teams. Truly, these are America’s best. And I am so proud of my son.
Мій син воює разом зі мною зараз в Україні проти російських орків. Ми в піхоті. Я штаб- сержант,а він рядовий. Я пишаюся своїм сином і вашим сином теж. Нехай Господь береже наших хлопців.
So proud to have been the wife of a Green Beret. He was a good Beret, husband, and father. Still have his beret and silver wings. God bless our troops, and God bless America.
The song came out in the late '60's and I'm too young to remember how the song was treated by the top 40-type chart they likely had back then. But I do recall, c.80-81, when I was a high school junior or senior, that song had been released close to 15 yrs before and suddenly, as I drove home in mom's Datsun B210, that song came on a.m. radio. I recall the dj saying it was being played to commemorate either upcoming memorial Day or Veteran's Day, I can't remember which. As a 17-18 yr old, I found that very moving. Haven't heard it on radio of any type since.
Just wanted to thank all the Green Berray for protecting our World. My prayers for the ones who Sacrifice their lives. In protecting our World .Retire Navy Veteran 👌 👍 ⚓️
I served on an A-team with the 7th Special Forces Group at Ft Bragg (it will always be Bragg to me regardless of what the A-wipes want to call it). I knew Barry co/writer and original singer of the Green Beret Song, we served at the same time with the 7th group. It was a proud moment when I got my green beret. It doesn't stop there, your training as a team has just began.
I remember this song from 1968. My husband now 76 was a Marine in Vietnam. He was a radio operator & ran through many rice fields both shooting and dodging enemy bullets always aiming to takeout those who call in artillery for assistance. Thanks to the Special Forces, Navy Vets, Marine helicopter pilots for answering that call! ❤
They are men apart! Not merely soldiers but great human beings. The best buddies and friends. I wear a wing and have been in the forces for 35 long years. A third generation in the forces. Unforgettable. Salute!
My father served 4 tours in Vietnam as an Air Commando in the Air Force. 20 years later when I enlisted, he had taught me to have the utmost respect for all of our special forces units in every branch: SEAL’s, Snipers’, Delta, Force Recon, Rangers, PJ’s and others. I took my try at the selection course for Para Rescue and didn’t have what it takes but was proud to serve my country as an EF-111 Crew Chief. I have several friends who have served either in one of the special forces units or in support of them and have nothing but total respect for who they are and what they do.
My father was in the Marine Corps 1946-1948 served in China.My father was a true American Hero Army Airborne 1950-1962 fought in the Korean War was wounded in that conflict received the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. Army Green Beret 1962-1970 fought in the Vietnam War received the Silver Star and the Bronze Star. My dad my hero, love and miss you.
May God bless America and these men, thank you for your service ✝️✝️ I wish I could have done this turned away from missing half a finger on my hand regrets
Our country as we know it is in term oil. Our troopers are all we have to protect all of us. Im 73 now . I was a 1968 Army trooper during the Vietnam war era. Thankyou to all who protect and served or are serving us now
The one of Real Americans "BRAVE MEN OF GREEN BERET", and all the Patriotic Americans in the Uniform of the Greatest Country in the World, The United States of America. GOD BLESS ALL
Beautifully sung and a righteous tribute to my friend, fellow New Mexican and writer of the song Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. R.I.P. my friend! You died as you lived......honorably.
I come from a long line of my family serving in the military I believe that The American soldiers have earned a place in heaven I am also thankful to the soldiers families may god bless you and watch over you and lastly the soldiers are my heroes 🦸♂️ thank you for your service to our country god bless you
In 1968, a movie Green Beret, I watched with my Uncle and this song stick in my head. I learned about how this song created and it is pure an American spirit. There is no song to compare with tears so much...how the American servicemen dedicated their lives to preserve the freedom of Americans and other free nations. God bless the Green Beret....
OMG!!!!Beautiful, clear voice and it made me cry for all those who sacrificed their lives. Thank you so much and I Salute the best men of this country!
I was a small boy when Barry Sadler's original version came out. I can guarantee more of us knew this song by heart than any of the rock music we're told dominated the 1960's.
So very proud of my husband who I met in Germany in 1963. I was a young German girl of 16 and married him 55 years ago...he still is my American GI from America. I love his country and still love him. To be so lucky to meet, marry, children, still living in the greatest country and still with the greatest Army man I ever knew in the world.
I met my wife in Germany as well, but she was a soldier, like me, we married, had 4 great kids, 1 grandkid, she passed 2 years ago, I have many fond memories of her, and Germany, 2 of our children were born in Germany...........
Hi James...No, this is not Ingrid, this is Larry who was so lucky to find her while serving in Germany. She failed to mention that I met her the day she graduated from school and I knew then I was going to marry her now 55 years later she speaks fluent English and I can't speak German LOL.Sorry to here about your wife I know you miss her a lot. Were getting up in age now (I'm 77) and love her more today then yesterday. Thank you for writing and thank you both for your service also...God Bless America...Larry Ryder
The americans are NOT the Worldpolice!The Soldiers are only dies for political offeriers.Great Man,but the politcan lies and they Made only for they owen,sorry,kam Not so Good in your speak,but i see
As a former Force Recon Marine I’ve always had great respect for Special Forces. I attended many Army schools and trained alongside these professionals. Of course there was lighthearted inter service rivalry, but for the most part the experience was rewarding and insightful.
As a US Army Airborne Infantryman Combat Veteran of the Panama Invasion and 1st Gulf War with the 82nd I served with some Marines in my unit at Bragg who got out of the Marines and came back into the Army who wanted to be paratrooper. Had a few in my Airborne class at Benning too. As you said, definitely light hearted kidding and service rivalry and all, but all good at the end of the day. They were good Soldiers who I was proud to serve with.
As an SF trooper back decades ago, we always "giged" each other, but to the Force Recon boys, the SEALs, the rangers and paras, ... to all the special units, I would have split my last canteen or mag with any of you.... and from all of us ground bound grunts, a special thank you to those Huey jockeys and their crews.
When war breaks out these men are willing to give their lives , so that we can enjoy the liberty ww have today , not only for us but for the whole world , GOD bless them always , "the brave men of the green berets".
I am humbled every day by these brave men and women. I thank them all for freedom and their service to this country. If you enjoy and value your freedom then every chance you get then thank a veteran for their service to our country...Bill Nahoney
Since the first time I heard this song back in 2nd or 3rd grade my dad was a music teacher. We had to sing this. I have never been able to do it. I'm 60 now and still can't. Just makes me cry.
Had the fortune to be airborne and met medical trained physicians, quite frankly, nervous. Admittedly, it is ok, as long as you had the ability remained focused on every thing taught! Once you leave that C-130 door, You and God are out that door. So amazingly, BEAUTIFUL...
The American whom I remember most and respect the most is US.Special Force E7 Henry (the French American) During an operation , my team was covered by the enemy. Choppers came to extract us but no LZ was pleased because of trees were too high. One chopper dropped out two strings on each side to the ground. My team leader (One Zero) Henry grabbed one string for him but I could not find one or myself. Enemies came closer and closer. My brave One Zero tighten my body to his body and asked chopper to take off. Guns fired at us from the ground. Finally were were brought to the camp PHU BAI safely. I admire the bravery and respect him till my last breath because I merely was an interpreter in his recon team.
I respect the Green Beret because they didnt box my ears in Basic because they saw my spirit...these guys and gals are more than any of us know More than the enemy can know is the Green Beret
My nephew just won his Green Beret. We are so, so very proud. He had already completed 4 years of service in the Marine Corp, sat out for a year last election because he vowed not to serve under Hilary. But President Trump won and my nephew said he had "more to give". And he is now one of Americas best. I pray every day for his safety as well as all our troops , giving so much for us. God love them.. USA and Screaming Eagles!!!
Has to be said, The Beret is earned not won and more importantly. WE serve our nation and people, not an individual. Or else , you just have secret police types following blindly. Recipe for disaster. i learned a long time ago in a matter of life and death; put your pride in your back pocket , people's lives are at stake. My black top hat off to your nephew. You have every right to be proud that you and your family provided him good guidance to be where he is. His achievements shine well on all of you.
Wenn ich dieses Lied höre, laufen mir die Tränen 😢 Wie viele Soldaten müssen noch ihr Leben lassen??? 😥 Wen I hear this Song my tears run down😥😥😥 How many more Soldiers have to die??? Greeting from Flensburg ( Germany) God bless you Soldiers
Sung with such FEELING and COMPASSION Makes me Cry much more than the normal singing of this AWESOME song. I wanted to go into the armed forces but could not pass pre medical. I got a career (10 years 8months) with Northrop B2 division. 1984 to 1994most awesome time I had.
It moves My Heart so much. I was a Proud Member of the 3/5th Air Cavalry. I was a Crew Chief on a AH-1G Gunship Cobra. The Army trusted Me with enough Fire Power to destroy a lot of the Enemies. We were well Trained to Kill and even die if necessary. When the Army decided I was fit to serve they chose to put me into the Artillery,, 1/30th. I drove a 155 Howitzer until I was involved in an incident that destroyed my back. That's when I Enlisted for Cobra School. My papers came for me to go to War but they honored my Re-Enlistment and I stayed stateside I took the Oath We All took, and I'll always Honor that !
So Proud to have married my Green Beret!!!!!! He3 spent 3 tours back to back. He was single at the time. I've had 40 years of love4 and proud!!!!! I just hope I can keep him 40 years more.
The song is amazing. Makes me want to stand up tall and shake every veterans hand and cry. I strive to be sure that when I see men and women in uniform I shake hands and say thank you.
@@glendayulo5849 I was married to an Air Force officer, loved how he looked in full dress, camos, but you're right green berets so sharp and makes you want to salute and present arms.

As a youngster growing up my Dad kept his Uniform clean I remember his patches one was a Sword with a lightning bolt though it my Dad loved wearing his Green BERET he was a Medic I love wearing it when I was little
Assim existissem lugares que fossem obrigados os homend passar por severa disciplina desde muito jovens...domando maus impetos e dominando os bons meios disciplinares...tornando-os ótimos cidadãos...e porque nao as mulheres tb....discipina....Green Barets
Qu'elle est belle cette balade dédiée à des soldats. ♥ Je ne comprends pas toutes les paroles mais que d'entendre la musique elle s'adresse aux soldats morts pour leur pays.. Nous devons rester humble et leurs dire merci car sans leurs dévouement la guerre serait terrible 💖Que de morts inutiles et combien de jeunes gens ont perdu le droit de vivre leur vie.. Ils sont partis confiants et fiers de servir une juste cause. ♥ Merci pour leurs sacrifices car grâce à eux d'autres vies ont été épargnées. ♥ Notre gratitude leur est acquise pour toujours. Une Mamie 🧓 française.
I am proud of my service to the Nation, yet I am insulted by political leaders who wish to dismantle the American Constitution for personal gain or political comfort.
One of the biggest regrets I have in my life is while I was serving in the U.S. Army, I did not join Special Forces... the Green Berets. Alas... we do not always make the right decisions in our life. U.S. Army, Ret. Texas
It does not matter Richard because you served your country. That is what really counts in life. I unfortunately did not get the chance to serve my native country of origin, the UK although I tried but was turned down. Why, I don't know!!!!! Anyway, I am now a long standing citizen of Australia. Anyway, all the best to you Richard. You got to serve, and that is great.
Thank you for this version however I will always love the SGT Barry Sadler version. US Army 1973-1979 Green Berets 10th Special forces. Any of my brothers or sister out there?
@garyhovermale Thanks for the reply Gary. I went to basic training at Ft Knox Kentucky, then took my AIT training at Ft Jackson South Carolina before being stationed at Ft Devens for 2 years. My remaining time was served in Germany at Meisau Army base 9th Special Ordinance Division. Seems like a lifetime ago now.
