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 peak from the Green Berets
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. (sing365)
The song was written by Robin Moore and Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler, while the latter was recuperating from a leg wound suffered as a medic in theVietnam War. The lyrics were written in honor of Green Beret James Gabriel, Jr., the first Native Hawaiian who died in Vietnam, who was executed by the Viet Cong while on a training mission on April 8, 1962.
