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.

Thank your father for his service and thank all the others in your family who served this country. God bless all. God bless the Green Beret.My father served in Korea. He enlisted into the Army when he was 17. My brother was Air Force. My first husband was Air Force (SS) and my second husband was in the Army (Radar in NE US/Mother).I wish I could personally thank each soldier in person for their service. I have to rely on the internet to do that. I know that one day I will be able to thank those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this nation.

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.

My father was a Green Beret, and passed away in 2014, retired since 2000, 20 years in the service, to raise his only son. And while I was at college across the nation I got that awful phone call. They played this song at the funeral, upon his brothers' request. 12 or so other Green Berets gathered, for him, but also for the sole survivor. This was the first time I've listened to it since then, and I really can't say it's any easier. God bless, to him, and to all others before and after him, except one, and he knows who he is.

The marching band my mother hired was scheduled to go on nearly 20 minutes after my song, but by the time I was on the 3rd line, the entire drumline and multiple trumpet players were backing up my vocals perfectly from seemingly out of nowhere. It might be the associated emotions talking, but that was probably the most beautiful couple minutes of my life so far

He was so tender and funny. He would sing at the drop of a hat ... such a beautiful voice he had - both for speaking and singing. I never told him how much I adored him. He was so handsome. Had the coloring of Willem Dafoe - but way handsomer. And he BELIEVED in all those ideals they used to teach us in the schools as little kids, about America being about freedom for all. We didn't know any better. We didn't understand yet about war being a rich man's war and a poor man's fight. He left for Viet nam without saying goodbye. He never came back. He was missing in action and never came back. This song reminds me of him.

david surnear sr I met one who was in the Marines during Vietnam.. We were talking and some guy came up and handed him $20 he handed it back to the guy and the guy told him to keep it. He said no thank you to the guy and the guy put the money in the vets pocket and walked off. So me and the guy continued talking and he said “Times have really changed, when I first got back from Vietnam people used to hate us and now they love us.” He did 2 tours in Vietnam and hated it. 2 yours in 6 years and spent 3 years in Nam after being fucked over by his leadership.

Upon my return we were kept waiting for a reserved hotel room for several hours. I passed out in the lounge and my father (a black retired MSgt of 26 years service) talked to the hotel's owner. My Old Man used to be a bell hop in that hotel, and when I woke up the next morning after 12 hours we were in the Presidential Suite. I said thank you and me and my German wife left the US for her country where we were warmly welcomed by all her family. Many years later I worked for an international company and was performing an expensive service for the hotel when the owner questioned the expense and asked did I have a chauffeur. I told him the story and we had a good talk, and I explained how he could cut his expenses and WHY sales had sold him his particular plan.

I am happy that there are people uploading songs for us to listen. This was the song I heard way back in the early 70's in the far- flung area in the Phil. When we do the marching going to our designated places, this was the song our teacher played before doing our calisthenics. The song had an impact in me when I went to college in the city, I saw this movie in the Betamax entitled Green Beret. I have to watch this I said so I took it. This time of pandemic, I don't know what comes into my mind that this song flashed into my mind so I searched if someone uploaded this song lo and behold, I got it. Thank. Praying all the military men who are fighting for a cause that they will always be in safety and for those who have died, may they rest in peace. Bless also their families, may they be comforted.

The Vietnam Vet was the most under appreciated and least respected soldier while they both served on foreign soil and upon their return home. They fought for their lives and counted the days until they could return home to the good old USA, just to be spat upon and verbally assaulted for doing what the government "Demanded" of them. These men were put in a position that they never should have been. And they paid a huge price. We all knew the government was wrong to have sent our men over there and the American people who were angry should have taken it up with the government. Not the soldiers. These men had no say in the decision that was made and MANY Americans should be ashamed of themselves for how they treated these men. I just ran across this short note today, written by a Vietnam Vet......Author Unknown. It speaks volumes...... I didn't serve in Vietnam for freedom... or liberty, or the flag. I didn't serve for the reasons people think of when they tell me, "Thanks for your service." I knew that this war was not about any of that stuff. I served for 365 days and a wake up, as we called it. I served so I would not be imprisoned by my government. I served because my father asked me to. Later, he admitted he was wrong and apologized. I served with these guys. I served to save them and myself for 365 days and a wake up. I failed.

That Horse That Drives a Sherman Tank Re: "...his service was necessary..." Reminds me of Field Marshall Eric Von Mainstein. Mainstein had a plan for the break out of the German troops encircled by the Russians at Starlingrad. Mainstein's plan would have saved many soldiers’ lives. Hitler ordered "No Retreat." Out of three 300,000 German soldiers who went to Stalingrad only 6,000 returned after being taken prisoner. Like your friend, Mainstein said " ...HIS SERVICE (follow the orders of his commanding officer i.e. Hitler) WAS NECESSARY." During war, it is the duty of every soldier to follow orders of his commanding officer. However, after the war, to make a statement as your friend did I believe IT IS NOT NECESSARY. FORTUNATELY WE STILL BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY.

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.😢

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.

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 first heard this song prior to joining the Marines. Never thought I'd be chosen to be in a Marine Recon Battalion in Vietnam during the bloodiest year of the war. 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.

SSG Gilbert Nicholas, USA Special Forces Green Berets. I was there when Saigon fell. A few days after. Served 1973 to 1982. Med Retired. Dam shame the way Vietnam men were treated when they came home. About all I got to say about this subject. God Bless

PAX AMERICANA 65 plus years without a world war, when there had been two world wars in a span of twenty years prior to American hegemony. Much of the world criticizes America for America's lead in the world, but those critics also have enjoyed peace and prosperity under American leadership since WW2. America is like a good and caring father, and the world(especially Europe) is like complaining children who are angry with their father for doing what is necessary to give them a good life and take care of them. PAX AMERICANA

Hate to say but america must be one abusive father, america came very late to help Europeans in the war, and us Canadians bagged you for your ships, but you said this was not your war. I would love america if they didn't let the banking system take over there country. America used to be great in the 1800's..

Franklin Clinton well sir America is still great, and as soon and a new president takes over it will be even greater. WW2 was not the problem for the USA but when britian finally asked for our help we went.

Franklin Clinton Sure, Canada could have won WW2 by itself (???) Get the flying fuck out of here with any patriotism for Canada whatsoever. Canadians are THE problem. America pays ten times more per capita for defense than Canada does, yet you Canadians enjoy cradle to grave welfare which we cannot afford because we are paying astronomically for you(and Europe's) defense. Canada would be NOTHING without America, and Europe would be speaking either German or Russian today as its lingua franca. Canada and America share the same culture. There is NO reason that Canada should be independent from the USA today. Loyalty to Britain is not longer an excuse. America by rights should take Canada by force now. 30 million Canadians; ridiculous. Russia wants your northern oil, and we should let them have it all. Hang your head in shame, as all Canadians deserve.

I’m writing this on Memorial Day, but it shouldn’t matter what day: we should ALWAYS honor and respect those who served. It shouldn’t matter what day it is: while we lived free, they fought and died for us to be free. To all who served, thank you for your service, and let us not forget those that never came back and always honor them. Happy Memorial Day to all!

I have known this song by heart since I was a young kid. It has been at least 10 years since I heard it and I had completely forgotten about it till earlier today. I literally have been agonizing over it to remember anything about this song. I’m glad I did though! This song always meant so much to me!

1966 song while the Vietnam war was being waged. But I gotta add, and some may not want to hear it, but LBJ aided the enemy by giving Ho Chi Minh a truce which he took advantage of and used it to kill many of our brave men.

I just learned that my father passed away. When i was younger, this was a song that he played almost on repeat so i would memorize it. He was so proud of me for trying and memorizing some of it. This song meant a lot to him and so did I. I miss you so much dad. I hope me playing this right now gets to you, wherever you are.
