My dad volunteered for the Navy at the age of 17, in 1942 with his widowed mother’s permission. He fought in the South Pacific during WWII and was at the Battle of Midway. He was a radioman, a skill he maintained his whole life and had a ham radio license. He died in 2017 at the age of 93, I miss him very much. He loved his country and his family. God bless all veterans, thank you for your sacrifices.

My father was the Chief Medical Officer for the Royal Australian Regiment in Viet Nam. He was from Bendigo, AU. He met my mother who was a Dutch nurse from Apeldoorn, NL. They met as she was was working at the orphanage in Vung Tau. He was visiting to see that the medical treatments were satisfactory. My father was visiting at FSPB, Fire Support Patrol Base Coral. There was a fierce engagement with the NVA. At the time there was a group of 6 Green Beret that were there to advise on NVA movements. When the NVA attacked, my father was near them and they swore to protect him. Two died when a RPG exploded, but the other 4 fought with all they had. My father survived with a little shrapnel in his leg. In no small measure to the fearless men of the Green Beret.

My God, im a full-blooded filipino, never stepped on american land but this song makes me cry everytime. The love and dedication these soldiers have for there country is just so touching, it makes so emotional everytime. Only today as i type, i played it 7 times with the other versions.

The proudest day of my life was becoming a Green Beret. Nothing in world can ever shake me! I went in as a kid from the streets of Newark and Irvington NJ and came out a man who takes nothing but looks for no trouble, but if I am faced with it I will deal with it the best way I can. Trained as one of America’s Finest Fighting Machine I will always stand for the Honor of this Great country and fight for all our freedoms. God bless America

All our soldiers who have gone to war have given their all to make us free! I salute everyone of them! God bless them all!

My brother Mark was a Green Berets air born He left us in 2006 but this songs remindes me of him RIP brother Mark HowellHe was a real bad ass !! Cancer 2006 took him from us ; ' )

In my opinion, this captures the real spirit of all the Viet Nam vets that served our country. They never lost a battle. They deserve our greatest respect.

I am crying... GOD bless all of YOU ! Thanks !!!

Danke für Euren Dienst für die Freiheit.

My uncle survived as a door gunner in '68-70. Not green beret, but did his duty, and hail to all who did so! ❤

As a non combat Marine veteran (I`m 83), I salute these men, glad as hell they are on my side. God speed. Pete Asterino, N Syracuse NY.

My dad gave 32 years of service to this country. Multiple tours to Korea, and Vietnam. Then, like so many, lost him to Agent Orange.

Served a tour with the 6th Special Forces Group at Ft Bragg, 3 tours with the 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam, 2 tours with the 10th Special Forces Group at Ft Devens and 1 4year tour with the highly classified "Detachment "A" Berlin Brigade in Eastern Europe. 75 years old now and if I could I would do it all over again if I could serve with same guys I did in combat so many years ago. De Oppresso Liber.

my brother SSGT RONALD H BOZIKIS WAS A GREEN BERET WHO DIED IN LAOS OCTOBER 25 ,1969. WAS SO PROUD OF HIM MISS HIM SO MUCH

Every time I hear this song I got tears in my eyes,love all Americans soldiers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My husband wasn't a Green Beret, but he served in Vietnam from 1968 to 1970... thank you all who served.

this music is what is missing from our culture today

I heard this song when I was a child and I still love it from South Africa

This is for the four Green Berets who were killed in Africa a couple weeks ago. You will not be forgotten. God Bless the USA

God bless them ! Even my grandson who is 7 respects Those who serve our country, His favorite song is red white and blue.! His grandpa served in Korea. And he also knows his great grandpa was in World war II. And he knows that his great grandma got a letter about her son. Who didn't come home. But, the good news was Great grandpa survived and came home. What a blessing.

Born 1960, grew up in Vietnam era; I believe this is the first song I memorized, my Uncle J served 2 tours in Vietnam, came back safe but PTSD. I planned a military career, Rt knee kept me out. I love all the military, respect and admire them. We are free. I love Vietnam Vets. Thank you all military Vets from every branch. God Bless America!

I once served with the army during the Vietnam conflict. During this struggle for our freedom today I hope that you guys the Green berets will stand up for the American people and fight for our Liberty. Because America need the Green berets may God bless you all America is proud of our best. 🙏

With pride and honor, I salute the officers and men of the Green Berets!!!!

They are some of the world's best military force. God Watch Over All Of Them, where ever they are currently serving.

This song always makes me cry, but I still love it. This is what I heard when my husband went to Vietnam, he came back safe, but still suffers. Now our son is in the riverines, navy, our daughter is Air Force. We are so proud of all our soldiers, but I would like to say thank you to all the wife's, fathers mothers and dads, who wait at home and pray they don't get that knock on the door. Or listen to some smart ass, setting at Starbucks,who has no idea about honor or sacrifice, they just believe because they showed up they should get a trophy. God bless you! I proud of our soldiers and their families, we love you all.

I never served but u all that have served have my respect

THIS SONG GETS ME EVERY TIME ! I LEARNED THIS SONG IN THE LATE 60’S WHEN I WAS IN THE 6TH GRADE . MY TEACHER WAS THE CHOIR TEACHER AND SHE TAUGHT US THIS SONG TO SING AT THE ASSEMBLY FOR THE PARENTS . THATS WHEN SCHOOLS WERE TEACHING CHILDREN GOOD THINGS ! SO TO THIS DAY WHENEVER I HEAR THIS SONG ITGETS ME EVERY TIME . WITH MUCH RESPECT 😔

Hearing this song , is like the National Anthem.... It ALWAYS brings a tear to my eyes.....

As a former member of the 5th Special Forces group I want to thank you for playing our song.

Effort, Honor and Glory to my Comrades Green Berets! Greetings from this Sergeant Chief of Portuguese Army Cavalry 🥇

I am Latino and fight for my country United State of America God bless our families

I served and lost friends in Vietnam. These songs bring back memories. Tears at times. Thanks for having these songs where people can remember those who gave their lives that we may live

I knew a green beret when I saw the emblem on his employee badge, and I thanked him for his service. He was a manager, and nobody knew what it meant. They didn’t know who was running the operation, and I kept it to myself.

Men who mean just what they say. Amen.

To my hero Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez, Rest in Peace. If God almighty ever decided to unleash you on Satan and his demons, there would certainly be hell to pay.

This song makes me proud to have been in the service and to have served in Vietnam please remember the ones that didn’t come home thank you

As I sit here and listen intently, I am tearing up and I am not American. I can only imagine how much it means to you. Beautiful song!

I'm a proud Vet, brothers in arms fighting to the death for Americas freedom! For Gods Sake don't let this be taken away!!!

The warriors suffer in silence, travelers between two worlds, rejected by some , praised by others, but eternally confused as to whether they'd seen the faces of angels, or awakened from a dream.

Even though this song pertains to a specific group of soldiers, the story it tells can be appreciated by all soldiers, whether Army, Navy or Air Force. Each one of them does their duty admirably to give us plain folk the freedom we so easily take for granted. To all the men and women who put their lives at risk, past and present, I give you a hearty thank you.

As a South African I enjoyed listening to this song, every now and then . Yes this song and the Green Berets are very special

10 years adgo today I lost my airborne soldier a proud member of the 173d Airborne (The Herd) I stumbled across this tonight and remember him singing this song many times.

Heavenly Father, Thank you for these men. Thank you Green Beret for your sacrifice and service. Bless each of you Warriors.

My uncle ray was a green beret and a vietnam veteran god bless them all.

Too beautiful .. grabs the heart... makes one emotional...actually makes one to think

I'm a Green Beret from Portugal. God Bless all the soldiers friends.

my dad wasnt a green beret but he was a fighter in the gulf war im thank full of his service

I was in the Army Reserves and in 1971 I served the two weeks of training at Ft. Devens, MA. Ft. Devens was the first stop for the Green Berets returning from Viet Nam. In the mess hall one day a group of Berets entered and all at my table (reserves) stood up and saluted them (the were not officers but we did not care). They were so young and I confess I was in awe of them. That night we were at a local bar and several of them were also there. I approached them and showed my respect and told them I actually felt guilty being in the reserves while they were on the front lines. Their response was "you are in the service and if and when you are called you will do what we do and there's nothing to feel guilty about. Now drag your chairs over and let's drink as comrades in arms." You can add class and style to tough as nails. They earned and deserve the ultimate respect.

I enlisted in the US Army in 1969. Right out of college. Never had a regret. God bless. Ron

I know what life does to these men and their families! I was married at 16 to a boy who went to Vietnam, came home a man, and so changed! War does that to those people forced to go fight! God Bless all our soldiers!

I was US Army military police and I had the honor of working SF 20 into them. I owe everything to we are both brothers and arms and I shall never forget them.

This ballad speaks volumes. Barry Sadler left us something epic.

Thank you all for your service. God bless America..

That's when soldier's ❤ learned to be men.😮❤ They gave there all. We are proud of u . Great general at that time . R I P SOLDIER'S U WATCH UR LOVED ONCE FROM HEAVEN.😮😢

My grandfather was a Sargent and a Paratrooper for the gGreen Berets in the Vietnam war. He listened to this song all the time in his car and when it was played at his funeral when he passed (12-12-12 R.I.P. Papa) I broke down. I listen to this song all the time to remember him and all veterans who put their lives on the line during the war. Thank you for this video, and God Bless.

My husband was in 1st and 5th group. So proud of him.

My partner passed but when I hear this song it's like he's singing along. He served in the forces and was so proud. 😘

Lot of memories here. I was in Charlie Company, 5th Group '71-'74. We had to sing this every day in our first phase training. I still remember all the words.

I knew one man who was a green beret. He grew up friends with my older brother and did things to me that scared me to death, like hang me over the local bridge holding me by only my belt. Some other things to tell but won't bother. As a young kid, I thought he hated me and I thought he was crazy. Then he left for the military and I didn't see him again until he came back from Vietnam after serving two tours. The change in him was incredible and he treated me like I was his long lost best friend. Some years went by and he died on a graveled road rollover 3 miles from where he grew up. Since that happened, I have become friends with his sister and her stories about him could fill a book. RIP Jerry, I think of you often.

WOW, WHAT A GREAT GROUP OF SOLDERS! Thanks for service. John P.

From the daughter of a WW2/Korean War veteran, thank you to ALL who served or are serving.

I get the goose bumps whenever I hear this song, god bless them all.

God bless those who serve our Country! They deserve to be recognized! I'm the daughter of a soldier who served in WW2 in The Battle of the Bulge. And also the wife of a Soldier. He didn't go to Viet Nam, but some of his buddies did. And some didn't come home.

my grandfather was a green beret. glad to find this video.

My Uncle was a Green Beret. Saw the Green Beret Movie today. For the first time in a number of years. Just had to look up the song and give it a listen. And pay Homage to all that have made it possible for us to live free.

I remember the day a classmate brought in a 45 and said he was related to the man who wrote this song. ( His mother’s brother in law) The teacher played it for the class. I was in the 4th grade at the time and that is one childhood memory I will never forget.

God bless all our veterans past and present. God bless all our men and women currently serving where ever you are. Thank you for your service. Prayers for the day not a single soldier needs die on foreign shores. You are truly America's best whatever branch you serve in. God bless you all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have been moved by this song and what it represents for years. The young men and women are who represent America, the good America. For all of the armed services, thank you.

I was a Hospital Corpsman in 67 -69. The Green Beret Airborne Medics trained in Ft Sam Houston where I was stationed. I'm pretty sure some of the men I hung out with on base didn't come back and they were all good guy. Some were probably not as old as I was (and I was only 19 when I went in the Army). Too young to see the type of combat they were sent to the middle of. I saw men almost fresh from the battlefield (a day or so after) that I was sure wouldn't make it but they did and they all wanted to go back again. I prayed every single night and day and still think of those who didn't come home at all - the POWs, etc etc.

I'm dating a 77 year old Green Beret, Vietnam era. The horror stories he tell me, 82nd Airborne Special Forces. So proud of him.

I've always liked this song since I first heard it. It describes very well those brave men in American Special Forces.

myself bad back ground beatings blood very young age took off to military camp still alive today bless them all praises to the lord Chrissy 😮

This song reminds me of my 2 brothers who went to the Viet Nam war. But came home alive and well. I married a Navy man who did 20yrs and28 days active duty was in 2 different wars. I am proud of my family and all of the military men and women. God bless all of you

This song makes me cry every time but I cant stop god bless you green berets🇺🇸

Thanks to you and your brothers my 2 girls can sleep safe in theirs beds tonight, no words describe how grateful we are for you and your brothers, thank you for your service

As a Veteran of the US Army Artillery of 15 1/2 years, I have worked with as an Instructor in the NCO Academy along side Army Rangers and one Green Beret who was in Vietnam. I learned much from these fine soldiers and used their lessons in training my soldiers. I have a great Respect and much Honor to have served with them and for my country.

Growing up in the Vietnam era, near a military post and a few National Cemeterys, I saw the flag draped coffin many times, friends dad's, older brothers etc. This song reminds us that freedom isn't free.

As an American of 63 I thank. You for fighting for our country. And those who lost their lives. For this country God bless you.

I love this song. When I hear this song I think of my Dad. He was Green Beret. The words have such meaning. They give me chills. So to all Branches of the Service. Thank you for both your bravely and your service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Once again THANK YOU for you very kind remarks. I am proud and honored to be an American who served this country without question. We should all be thankful for all our freedoms that we share with each other. God bless each of you and God bless the United States of American.

My husband was a Rhodesian and he fought in the Rhodesian war. The RLI in Rhodesia wore green berets. They fought alongside blacks and whites against Mugabe. IWe were proud of our men. Unfortunately they are not now allowed to March on poppy day to remember the fallen. Look at Zimbabwe now. I listen to this song often and am proud my husband was part of the black and white Rhodesians who fought. This song brings a lump to my throat. Our brave men. Politics interfered. I saulte all men who fight for their country.

This is Memorial Day weekend.I am so proud to be an American.Thank you to everyone that made the ultimate sacrifice. God bless and keep you and your families

I've loved this song since it first came out. God bless all our troops. I'm so damn proud of all of them.

Thank you all This song is played when I fear tries to take me over and it reminds me I have nothing to fear for you all have fight A BIGGER BATTLE THAN I EVER COULD. I HONOR YOU AND GRATEFUL. My son is serving and never been more proud.

This is really the army people who have died we appreciate your service for saving us from world war three

I am not sure how anyone could give a thumbs down. My Grandfather was in the navy for the Korean war, he later succumbed to dementia. I stayed with him and my grandma due to this, and he would have horrible nightmares. Saddens me that citizens do not understand. I thank everyone! I live across the street from a Barracks, and no matter the chance, I will always salute and give thanks. May not seem like much. i read somewhere tho that soldiers actually do not like being thanked. maybe since it is North Dakota, soldiers, officers, EMT's, I try to always say thank you. even school janitors! thank you, for protecting us and giving the United States a piece of mind!

I just recently lost my uncle that was a proud Green Beret I will always love you and I will miss you rest in peace Uncle Jimmy

Not becoming one of the three men....biggest regret of my life! Salute to all SF! Respect!

I love this song. I play it over and over, the lyrics are special

I was in 3 Corp, Vietnam, I flew hurts with the 162 Assault Helicopter Company. We supported the Green Berets looking for a NVA Brigade around Phuoc Vinh and Thanksgiving Day, 1967. A team consisting of 2 Americans and 4 Mercinaries was outside the perimeter setting up listening posts. Contact was made and the Company CO went out on the rescue chopper and had to climb down a rope ladder to rescue the troops, he was shot off the ladder and died. He was an excellent Commander. I still think about him. He was from Texas, San Antonio.. and too many brave ones die young.

Thank you all for your service. God Bless!

Beautiful Song, Great Movie, Great Stars, Absolutely Beautiful. ..........

I have a cousin who was a Green Beret. He was one of the first to go to Vietnam. I loved to hear his stories about his time in the military and I think this song says a lot about the type of man he was back then and still is today. He has the best since of humor and always has a way of making you feel good no matter the situation.

I am not American. However a proud veteran of the Israel Defence Force. This song still gives me shivers. Sempre together!

Never forget their sacrifice, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Remembering All of Our Vets who sacrificed their lives for us My Dad was a Marine in the Korean War and he would always play this album and we would March around to this song. Thank-You to ALL of our Vets who sacrificed their lives for our Country.

Americans can be Proud that so many defend our true ideals.thank you who have served and are serving.

Thank you for your service! *Much love & respect from the daughter of a WW2/Korean War veteran*

A great song from my youth. The training was a year long and was accomplished at FT. Bragg NC. I was to young to join and served with the 173rd Airborne in Vietnam instead.
