- Special Forces was established as a basic branch of the U.S. Army in 1987. The branch's lineage, however, can be traced to June of 1952, when the 10th Special Forces Group - Airborne was activated.
The U.S. Army Band "Country Roads" pays tribute to the Green Berets with this performance of "Ballad of the Green Berets," originally written and performed by Green Beret Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler.

I'm a german, and I'm sad, that such a song could never be sung in Germany for one of our military units. We've lost the pride for our soldiers. It's a shame! This song is wonderful and represents the ghost of an elite-unit. Sorry, if my american isn't correct, but I didn't speak or write English/american for a long time.
Nothing wrong with your English your point was made!
Your English is good my Brother, do not worry about that. During my service in the Army I was stationed in Germany and had the Honor of training with German soldiers. They were good and we had a mutual respect for each other.
A large part of my time in the US Air Force was in Germany. What a beautiful country. Pride starts with one person that passes it on. Blessings, my friend.
I served 87 to 91 as a combat engineer 12 bravo . I'm army proud. God bless America. And the us army. None better
Pride of country is where it starts. They cannot take that from you. Germany is a great nation.
I’m a retired Green Beret 22 years. Very well done
To be elite at anything is special..to do it for 22 yrs is an achievement few will ever get to know.
Like you sir. I served in the US Army, airborne Infantry. I worked with SF soldiers, and it was privlege to serve along side these fine soldiers. I have the upmost respect for these men.
Unto you my brother in arms I say thank you for your service and may the good Lord protect you and all of our brothers in arms.
God bless our great nation.
" ALL THE WAY AIRBORNE"

Thank you for your service and sacrifice sir. HAND SALUTE !
Thank you for serving our country.. freedom
When this song came out during the Vietnam War, I had 2 Army brothers and I Marine brother in Vietnam at the time and all 3 came home safe. From the first time I heard this song, the tear flowed. And still today I can't hear it without tears on the 3rd course. Thank you for sharing. 💖 Just a little Military family I belong to. 5 Brother 4 Army, 1 Marine. 1 served in Korean War, 1 served in Germany during the Vietnam War, while the 3 youngest did in Vietnam. My Husband is an Army Vet. Our son severed in the Army during Iraqi Freedom, and now we have two Grandsons severing 1 an Army Medic, the other a Marine, in engineering. I so PROUD OF ALL OUR AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this song. It always brings a tear to the eyes. For those that serve and those that made the ultimate sacrifice, thank you for keeping the freedom.
Our family has a long line of military service. My father-in-law retired from the Navy. He was stationed on an air craft carrier supporting troups in Vietnam. My dad was a medic in the Army during WWII. My husband retired from the Army, and he a disabled veteran. I spent the final 16 years married to him. We are still married and just celebrated our 49 anniversay. My son, also a disabled veteran, was in the Army and did two tours, about 30 months, in Iraq. My son-in-law, also a disabled veteran, did a tour in Iraq where he suffered TBIs and ended up with PTS. His vehicle was hit by mortors twice and hit two IEDs in his vehicle. Now, one of my granddaughters want to go into the Army. One is already on deferred entrance. She's passed all her exams and will go in when she has her children situated.
❤ I salute you and your family. Thank you for your service. I was in Nam in '67 till '70
@@tataportparas296, AMEN AND GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO SERVED!
Thank you for serving all of you!!
My big brother was a Capt in the Green Beret. He was my hero. He passed but he was a proud Green Beret. God bless them all.
Why aren't they in their "Class A" uniforms??
I am proud of him and you ! God bless you and keep you safe and healthy !

God bless and comfort you 🙏
😥
I’m so sorry for your loss. He is a hero
My neighbor was a green beret and they played this at his funeral. I cried like a baby that day.
66 years old and USMC. This made me cry like a baby. Awesome job.
Thank You for your Service
Neither army nor marine, but this song's message is so powerful it makes me cry every time I hear it!
Always has....always will.............@@tinusvandenberg2593
My brother and I used to listen to this on 45 when we were kids. I'm only a few years younger than you. I did a hitch as a leg infantryman back in the 80s.
When I went through AB school the SEAL whined, and the Gunny lead us through. Respect you boys🫡
She has a marvelous voice.
Over 50 years ago my dad used to play this record when I was a young kid. I went on to be a Green Berets at 10th group.. It does matter what we expose our children to. I’m concerned with the things that were exposing our children to today. Not sure how drag queen story time is going to help this nation be strong.
It makes me sick what our government is doing to destroy our country ! I salute you and God Bless you and keep you safe and healthy !
Just an ole Vietnam Combat Vet , Tom Please stay safe and always alert!
Thank you for your service and God bless you. Well the gays and drag queens only make us weak. But this is what the Elites want with New World Order.
I had a boyfriend in high school who joined the military in 1973. He was on the rooftop in Vietnam during the massive helicopter lift at the US Embassy. He made it back to the states!! So proud of our military and putting their lives on the line to keep people safe!!!❤❤❤❤
This song gave me goosebumps in the 70s and it still does. Thank you.
I did this at karaoke two weeks ago..l did Arlington on Memorial Day
I first heard this song prior to enlisting in the US Army. I signed up for jump school while in basic training and had a couple of Green Berets talk to us. I took their physical entry qualifier and was notified that I was going to be assigned to the 7th Special Forces training group at Ft Bragg. Finished first phase, but got into some trouble and was shipped to 82nd AA. Biggest disappointment of my life, not finishing SF training.
Me too
U should have been in Nam , maybe more chills ! No dis..
Nam Vet , Tom done it
I love that song to and gives me goosebumps also. I'm a veteran of the U.S Navy.
I'm USN myself but I love this song goes right to my soul
What I love most? This group of musicians are playing their hearts out and you can just FEEL their love for America!!!
Wow. 1966 with a new slant go Army!
I feel that too
❤❤ I COULD COME BACK FROM A HUNDRED BATTLES, JUST TO HEAR THIS WOMAN SING THIS SONG !!! SILVER WINGS !!! ❤❤
I can never get through this song without choking up. Doesn't matter what branch of the service or even country you're from; the message about duty, honor, courage and sacrifice is awe-inspiring.
❤
absolutely agree, same ere....
Bullets fly...people die...and then you wonder why...but WE always answer the cry...
Yes, same here! I totally agree with you-very sad! regards
Airborn82nd,Mis thoughs day's up at 1 out the door at 5am Ft Bragg now it has a new name, To me it will alwas be Ft B.
First time hearing this southern, soft, folk version, I like it!
Me too
We spend millions on recruitment ads without the folks in charge, realizing you just released this song over guys jumping out of planes, and you get kids signing up to be heroes.
That literally made no sense whatsoever. Try again.
@@user-fw2pc1xr7n No! It made a lot of sense. Try again
i grew up singing this song for "singing time" in my elementary school. we were taught to love, respect and appreciate America. that's called righteous upbringing. far cry from the crap going on in our schools today.
As a combat vet who was stationed at Ft Bragg.... I too loved the original song... this is an outstanding tribute to it. All The Way
thank you very much and GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you for your service.
Fort Bragg officially became Fort Liberty today. I have lived close to the base my whole life. I am so proud of all the soldiers the have come through there. Thank you.
It's sad, Fort Bragg is now Fort Liberty. Hope the next President changes it back!
@@yvonne1970 It will always be Fort Bragg to me. It has always been close to heart.
This is still an awesome song. My stepfather was a Green Beret. I actually heard this song sung by Berry Sadler. God bless all of our spec ops soldiers.
Absolutely, when it came out, my mom got the 45 for me. I wore that little record out. Lol wanted to be a Green Beret 🙋♂️🙏🇺🇲
I also remember when this came out. Barry had a special gift of it. It hits hard on the words and their meaning.
Yep, that's who I heard do it first. He did an OUTSTANDING job.
I sang this song with a classmate in 1966 at our Spring Concert. He sang tenor and I sang Alto. Our Classmates were being drafted for Vietnam as they turned 18. It was hard to sing without crying but we did a good job and it’s a beautiful song🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One of my favorite songs an song about as best as I've ever heard! God Bless you an yours! I come from military family. My 2 uncle's survived Pearl Harbor attack. Their younger brother, my dad, joined navy on 8th Dec 41. He volunteered for UDT underwater demolition teams deploying off rubber rafts tied to PT boats! My brother was F-4 plane captain on Enterprise aircraft carrier along with my favorite Uncle.
I first heard this song in January of 1966 when it was released by Barry Sadler. The song hit number 1 on the Billboard Top 100 chart in late February and stayed there for five weeks, going on to sell more than nine million records. I had high expectations for anyone who would dare to cover this song and the Special Forces did not disappoint. I think Sadler would be proud.
He - eey, me too Maryann A.?! Ye - es! Waht a coincidence?! Oh & ny the way( just as a touch of humor, yet I do mean it. ) To you maryann, I wish you Marry Christmas.
I agree!!
I truly appreciate the honest, homespun, Honorable approach to this Ballad. A-ATW. De Oppresso Liber. CPT R.A. "Rick" Briggs, Jr. 5th SFGA, Fort Bragg, NC 1979-1981.
He really would be proud of this army band
Good cover, but a little over done. It's not simple like the original. This girl is a singer and showcases her voice. Barry Sadler was not a singer. He was a storyteller and he showcased the story. That made his entire album unique.
I heard this song as a young child my father was a veteran who served and made sure his children understood the sacrifice men and women make for this country 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When I was a little girl in school we learned all the Songs of The United States Armed Forces, our state and all Our Homeland America's Songs including her National Anthem ❤️🇺🇲
My Dad was also a Veteran of WW 2
@@theresataylor9834 yes I do remember that in like first grade
This is one of two Patriotic songs that I remember as a young fella. The other is "A Scottish Soldier'
As a Veteran, I have always loved this song. First heard it in the movie Green Beret with John Wayne. Great job by the solider singing and the musicians as well. Much love and respect, God Bless, thank you for your service.
I so agree my Daddy was la paratrooper 504 th. Me just a tank mechanic.
@@robertbarlow6715 Not just a tank mechanic also a solider who served. God Bless Robert
why ? america has lost every war / military adventure it's engaged in since the 2nd world war ... nothing about your military skills to be proud of " sunshine "

@@johnwalsh3907 Well said . Besides, he serves as U.S. Paratrooper ELVIS PRESLEY did, who was a "Tank Commander" Sergeant . No Tanks move safely without You, Soldier
What an awesome song!!! Never get tired of hearing it. God bless everyone who ever served and those who will one day serve.
What an awesome tribute to our Veterans Elite! It does not lessen the contribution given, by each of you! 💟 This band is wonderful!
BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES HAVING WORN THE GREEN BERET FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS WITH ANOTHER YEAR ON MY ENLISTMENT CONTRACT TO GO!!!
GOD BLESS NOT JUST THE UNITED STATES ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND BUT ALSO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNIFIED UNITED STATES SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS!!!
you lost every war you engaged in since 1945 ... your wars in south east asia to the middle east you lost and fled from ... you destroy countries and flee like cowards when they fight back ... green berets are a world wide joke
Dang dude . When the U.S. millitary went into Viet Nam it was only half Communist . By the time they left it was all Communist . But what the heck right ? What's sixty thousand dead Americans for nothing right? You seem to like to brag about yourself and your murdering comrades , do you ever think about the women and babies that you and you war machine left rotting in the jungle , or the women and babies rotting under the rubble of buildings in the Middle East ? And you didnt even get the oil you were after in Viet Nam.
Thank you for your service, America would not exist without men like you. God bless you and yours.
Thank you for your service.
I call Bull Shit.
I remember when Sgt Barry Sadler first released this song in the mid 1960’s. It moved me so much knowing all the brave soldiers who were caught in a war that should of never been but regardless they did what soldiers do and served their country. This is such a great cover of his song. Love it. Thank you all for this beautiful recording.
Her voice is amazing. The musicians really nail it. A great cover of the orginal. Proud to be an American. Sad at what is happening in our great Country .
I don’t care who sings it every time I hear it I cry like a baby I spent a lot of time in vietnam I was 18 ist day there
My dad was also a Green Beret. Served in Korea and Vietnam. We lived at Ft Bragg during most of the 60s. Very proud of him. He passed away way too soon in 1989. He was only 59. Miss him terribly
Praising God for your brave father's service. 🙏🏼
Thank you for your sacrifice and for his service.
My father was also Green Baret at the end of the Korean was and into Vietnam. I cry everytime I hear this song. Well done
I’m sorry for your dad’s passing. My husband was a Marine in 1972 to 79 he didn’t go to Vietnam, he unexpectedly passed away 2 years ago. Thank you both for your sacrifice and his service ❤️
Korea! He had shit handled. Vietnam was nothing.🫡🇺🇸
Awesome! I love this song especially with a country flare! Thanks to all the Green Berets for their service
Hello 👋 Deborah. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. You seem like a real country girl
True country flare cause most of us are were country cowboys. Amen☠️🇺🇸🤙
You're welcome.

Absolutely , thanks 👍
I learned this song when I was no more than 7 years old.,,,,I'm 62. Loved this song.

Teh very , strangest is, regardless of what political party any of us favor, we, we all are U.S. / American people. Lord help us, all of us, to let the patriotic sense come bak & the hifger moral values to be practiced again? God bless you all, further on.
Iam. A vet

I'm not an American, but why my tears can't stop flowing while listening to this song dedicated to Green Berets.
@@noliestrella3106 what is an American , someone who came here it home. I am a first generation American. My father dropped me off at the federal building and said be brave. That's the only time I ever saw that old man cry.
I never served but have always had a deep appreciation for those that have and currently do. 🫡
me too
Me too.
Same, they have a special place in my heart. Them and their families. God bless our servicemen.
Same here brother. I love America 🇺🇸
I've seen 3 version of this song, this was amazing and so moving, I lost my great great uncle just before the end of ww1, and I thank God every day for all military persons who fought our veterans and all we lost, for our tomorrow we give ours today god bless and keep safe if you in the military
Too
This is the BEST version of this song I have ever heard. GO ARMY!!
Was not sure what to expect when I saw this being sung by a young lady with the country music theme. However, it grabbed me and didn't let me go. So well done all around. Barry Sadler would be proud.
This song brings back so many memories. This is by far the Best rendition of this song. I'm a Proud Marine, but this is one thing the Army aced.
I was in the army and my drill sergeant was a Marine who went over to the army side so he can continue to be a drill sergeant. He fought in the Vietnam war and was well decorated for his actions there. But I know that I received some good training even short it was. The army has some good units in it. Some men are trained well and some aren't. One of the reasons I respect the Marines is because they are all trained well.
I had a friend who was a Green Beret, sadly he died in Vietnam. I cry when I hear this great song 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸
A lot of our SF Troopers died in Vietnam. Then again there were an estimated 58,225 that were killed, another 304,000 that were wounded, and 2,413 that are considered Missing in Action. I don’t know for an absolute fact, but I’m fairly certain that every single one of them meant and still means a lot to them as well. My Uncle was an Army Captain (Huey Pilot) that was listed as MIA because they couldn’t recovery his remains. His status was finally changed to KIA. I lost 5 of my Brothers (Teammates, I was a 300F1 SF Medic). I’m sorry for your loss.
Thank him in heaven
He's always with you.
HH, Sue, and StrongBear,. Thank-you for your kind words. God bless
I'm very sorry for your loss of a very dear friend I too am the daughter of a green beret
My sincere Thank you to All who have served Our Country.🇺🇲🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸💕
Thank you and you are welcome.

This is the universal military song. It doesn't matter which branch you are in - we as a nation owe you all a heart full of gratitude and respect. The fact that there are those among us who have joined and put their lives on the line for the freedoms of not only America, but those who still live under oppression and dictatorship. Thank you so very, very much for your service - I hope that one day we can all live in somewhat peace and never have to see another young man or woman go to defend what we take for granted, and never come home again. 😞💔🙏💖💖💖
SEMPER FI
you mean, who invade a country, because the CIA made up a story about chemical weapons
You are right! The space farce made everything ok. I now drink beers w/ the civil air patrol🫡🫵🤟😊
I was not Special Forces, but trained against them in Robin Sage at Ft. Bragg several times. They were right down the street from us. They have some rough schooling and testing. Nothing but respect, in spite of the fact we did everything we could to make them fail Robin Sage. From what I gather, they do it hungry and almost sleepless, while we stayed well fed and rested. Speaking from experience, that makes a huge difference.
This is the best version of this song ever! Thanks all, and thanks for your service!
Just a word of Thank s for all the Military Men and Women who Sacrifice their lives for protecting our World 🌎 God bless America 🇺🇸. Retire Navy Veteran 🙏
I'm a tough old bird -- I served 2 tours with the 17th Infantry in Vietnam and raised 9 kids -- this song brought tears to my eyes. Thanks.

@Mike Collins Huh?

I served 23 years, I was first introduced to the song when I first saw the movie, John Wayne and George Takei, what a combination. When the song was played over the credits, I literally cried it was so touching. Your rendition did the same, you did it proud. 👏

The singer does an excellent job tuning out this song backed by the band
Amazing team band. Lead vocal is amazing! God bless you all .
Very patriotic song. I was a teenager in high school when this song first came out. I still have the 45 vinyl record. ❤
That was my first time hearing it as well. The very first time I ever heard it was on the Ed Sullivan show on a Sunday night. I had already decided to go into the army and that song helped me to decide what I wanted as my end goal.
So long as you know it is an old German marching song.

Thank you for service.
I had my first job as a dishwasher and busboy 1972. This soldier came in to eat wearing his dress greens (in those days and jump boots). When he got up to leave he put on his Green Beret. I was in awe and never forgot it. Later on I joined the Marines and served 26 years and had the absolute honor of serving with some Green Berets. There are no better soldiers, no better men, and no better Americans. This is a beautiful rendition.
Written by Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler while convalescing from a foot/leg injury caused by a "punji stake" while on patrol in Vietnam. . I have his original record. Always dreamed I would be a Green Beret. Instead became a police officer. Proud of you for covering his song.
Such a beautiful song, and you did our country an honor singing it
My father was a Green Beret. Today is the 2 month anniversary of his death. Dad loved the original version of this song and I'm sure he would have loved this one, too. It brought tears to my eyes thinking of Dad, but he was so proud to have served our country and of his time as a Green Beret.
Hey how are you doing today?😊
For my great uncle that served on CV1/ CV2 and all the great men that served during WWII, thank you. Thank you to all that served in the wars that I could not. God bless you all.

I recently lost my brother, David, he wore those silver wings and the green beret. I used to play this song all the time. I had an old record of Sgt, Barry Sadler...the original. Hearing it again, brought some tears to my eyes.
I use it as my wake up alarms and the families ringing alarms I love it so respectful a shame he passed just after he made the song I think
Thank you to every military person around the world defending their own countries the best way they know how.
It would be much better if the two heads of the country sat down for chess match and whoever won the chess match won the game
My idea behind this that nobody would get injured hurt or maimed and families could live together and stay together
The powers of being makes the decisions they should have the headaches not the front line

Hey 👋
That's FGUCKING IMPRESSIVE! Salute him from me.🫡
Since Sgt. Sadler did this, I have never heard a better rendition of it EVER. Almost brought tears, very well done.
Navy vet here. Still have the utmost respect for those who are strong enough in body, mind, and spirit to earn the green beret. And eternal gratitude to all who paid the price for freedom. This was a beautiful rendition of the song, fittingly sung by soldiers.
That was amazing. Everyone is so talented. That lead singer has an incredible voice.
My uncle Alan was a green beret medic in Vietnam. He made it back home, only to leave us too soon. I would cry every time I heard this song, it’s a favorite for sure and well done. Thanks so much.
Yes what a fantastic song, when it came out, my mom got it for me, I wore that little 45 record out. God bless. And thank you for your uncle. 🙋♂️🙏🇺🇲
Love this version of this song ,Sgt Barry Sadler ,still gives me goose bumps when I play his record ,
I have listened to many versions of this song including the original but this magnificent young lady and her gorgeous voice are head and shoulder above them all
Beautiful! Always loved this song and thankful to all who have served, those who are serving and those who will serve
As a Donut Dollie in South Vietnam '71-'72. When I first heard this song, I bought Barry Sadler's album of that name, and I still have it. It brings me to tears every time I hear it. Thank you for your service to all the Green Berets out there. You are some of the very best!!
Hey how are you doing today?😊
RVN 71-72 I have no words only respect and a high regard. Salute and thank you for your service.
Great job....the singer sounds like Trisha Yearwood and is fantastic....She could have a long career in Nashville after she gets out of the Army...Great Job!!!!
My first government job was at a Marine Base in California. I had the privilege of seeing them at their best, and when they received their orders to go to war. None of them wanted to face what their dad's, granddad's, brother's, sister's, aunts, and uncles faced. Some did not come back some mangled and disabled. They shared their fears, but they knew they had a job to do, and they did it. This song always makes me cry because, as a civilian, I didn't have to Even think about going over to a war zone. So I remember all those men and women. They all have a very special place in my heart.❤ Later, in my government career, I worked at the VA Hospital. There I saw the men & and women who came back. And saw how they came back. All proud of their time in the service. How can anyone see these wonderful people and not cry about what they all went through?
I remember listening to this album as a child. My daddy was a WWII vet.
I'm an Army brat and the joke in my family is that my dad's career was to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. This is a beautiful and honorable tribute to everyone who serves as A Green Barrett.
I always loved this song by SSG Barry Sadler .But I love this rendition even more. She has a beautiful voice! More feeling in every word!
Hey how are you doing today?😊

I love this version of the song and this wonderful singer, so glad it has been returned to us.
I was a Cavalry Scout for 10 years. This song sent shivers through out my whole body and my eyes started leaking when I heard this song. Fantastic rendition. Thank you
A big thank you to all of our vets, love you all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I served 22 years in the Marines and even I know the Green Berets are badass’s.
Explain? But first shave that stupid shit off your face.
The very best I've heard sung. The beautiful lady has a wonderful voice.
Posted by 14 year old student whose cousin was a marine and lost his life 5+ years ago, and I cried then and listening to this rendition, brought tears to my eyes. Had my cousin been alive today, he would still be a green beret and a high-ranking officer.
Thanks you for this beautiful rendition of such a warm song. My dad, God rest his soul was, one of those brave few to wear the green beret. He served in Vietnam and died in Jan 2021. This song brought a tear to my eye hearing you sing such a good song. And thank you for your service too.
If your father was a green beret...he was a unique and brave man so proud of him 🇮🇹🇺🇸
Think to yourself HE DID HIS BEST !!! All BUDDIES TOGETHER ARE LIKE BROTHERS & SISTERS in the Military !!! WE ALL DO OUR BEST NO MATTER THE COST as IT IS FOR A BROTHER OR SISTER THAT WE FIGHT SO HARD OUT THERE FOR !!! Rest Easy now as HE IS RESTING EASY ALSO !!!
My father was also a Green Beret in Vietnam and just died 2 months ago. He always loved this song and it obviously reminds me of him.
Seems like every time I turn around I’m hearing about another Brother that has passed away. Recently Maj Gen Mennes announced that Smoke Bomb Hill barracks are going to be / or are being torn down and new barracks built. Good to see that our Troops are being taken care of. I still remember the Old WWII Barracks that we lived in. (And guys Rappelling down the Fire Escapes at the end of the barracks). I was forced into a Medical retirement in 1989 with 22 years. Miss it every single day!
Fabulous! First time I've heard an Army woman singing The Ballad of the Green Berets. Great job to the singer and to your band! This is Women's History Month, so it is just right on the mark for me to hear your wonderful band, and the West Point Choir and Orchestra perform the beautiful hymn from the movie, We Were Soldiers, Once and Young.

This song and beat gives me chill bumps when I hear it, it's so soulful and touching.
Bravo to the singer and band ❤️🤍💙.
I was a teen with a brother in Vietnam when I heard this. Two years later I was in Vietnam with the 75th Ranger Regiment as a LRRP. The inspiration just stayed with me…. Now at 74 I still feel it.
Absolutely awesome!!! As an Army veteran, that makes me so very proud!! Thank you, both for your service, and your great talents!!
Though not able to serve, I agree with those who thank you for your service, and your talent. Very well done take here.
Beautifully done. As an Army vet of Vietnam listening to this rendition made me weep. I was stationed at Ft.Bragg after Vietnam & saw a lot of Green Berets training. Americas Best.
