The Ballad of The Green Beret - ASL (sung by S.S. Barry Sadler)

**I hope you enjoy this time #withme during the pandemic. This is a great time to sit back & be entertained or learn something new**. #asl #signlanguage
******First I want to say that I was inspired to make this video by 2 people. First, my Dad is a U.S. Army Veteran. He was Airborne & a Paratrooper & later he became a Paratrooper Jump school teacher. He’s 89 years old, late Deaf/HoH & enjoys watching my ASL song covers. This one is for him!
Secondly, I was inspired when I saw Rosa Lee Timm sign her interpretation of this special song that touches my heart. Her interpretation is Champ! She has this ASL song on Facebook & it’s amazing (*at the Rosa Lee Show*)! It’s much better than I could ever do! I changed my interpretation up a bit, so I do not “step in any toes”. I hope you all enjoy this one. It means so much to me.

**Please understand that the songs I sign here are for recreation & fun. I’m disabled & it’s relaxing & gives me pleasure to artistically & conceptually interpret songs into ASL. I true-Biz hope you enjoy them also. But I’m not here to teach ASL song interpretation. I’m Deaf/HoH & ASL is my language. ASL songs & stories are conceptual & there’s not always an English word for each sign. **I do have a couple playlists where I do teach some ASL vocabulary & idioms etc. I also try to teach about Deaf culture & Deaf history. (**Please note that I will always try to have the CC on the video or here in the description. Thank you for being here.

English Transcript:
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
100 men will test today
But only 3 win the Green Beret
Trained to live of 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 chest
These are men America's best
100 men will test today
But only 3 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 he'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret
