Sgt Barry Sadler Ballad of the Green Berets Live Perfomance
Sgt Barry Sadler Ballad of the Green Berets Lyrics
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 take from 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
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

I was 17 in ‘66 when this song came out. My dad passed that year and was a WW2 Marine Veteran from 38-46, who served in the South Pacific. I followed him in ‘68, when I joined the Marines and served in Vietnam 68-69. He never got to see me join but I’m sure he would have been proud.

My Father was a Major Green Beret. He Retired and then passed away at the young age of 52 from Agent Orange. I know every word to every song on this Album. Singing them to this day with tears in my eyes. My favorite album. When my Mother passed away my sister wrote this on her obituary: God tapped Major James L. Drinkwater on the shoulder and told him to put on his Military Dress Blues... He had one last mission... To escort his beautiful bride, your Momma home to be with the Lord. Her trials are now over. She is now at peace in the loving arms of her husband (who waited 24 years and 8 days for her). There is Peace in the valley for Momma now. My father was a Major Green Beret but my Mother had an army of her own. We were a family of 11. Love and miss you from the depths of soul. Take care of my son. I have cried everyday for 2 years! Momma Loves You Soooo Much!

I was in the 6th grade when this song was released in January 1966. 50 years ago next month I married my Vietnam Vet. He was not a Green Beret, but he was my hero. He was in Vietnam, US Army, the year of 1971 and released from the army in early 1972, when I was still a senior in high school! One year later we met. He was 23 and I was 18 and attending my freshman year of college. We were married 3 months and 4 days later. Others said I was too young and we married too quickly but, we never once felt that way. Especially 46 years later when unfortunately, after healthy life, no PTSD, no health issues, he passed away from a non smoking lung cancer. His oncologist and VA believed it to be from having been exposed to Agent Orange 48 years earlier. He was diagnosed in 2018 and died October 2019.

Amen to what you said; you have a million reasons to be proud. My brother fought in Vietnam. I praise God for bringing him home alive. He won’t talk about that war. Therefore I know it was bad. He was separated from his unit and spent three days in the jungle alone. He did as instructed and stayed put. They did come back three days later.

@Michael Flynn As a Christian man I must disagree with you. the U.S. Armed forces are why you have the freedom to worship as you please, our True U.S. soldiers dont kill innocent people, and the ones that do are punished. America was founded on Christian values, and because these our young men have chosen to stand up and fight for this wonderful country that God gave us, God has blessed us with some of the finest warriors the world has ever known, my best friend is currently in Army basic and has his sights set for Airborne Ranger. and by your disrespectful comment, you are being a very bad witness to non believers
