Silver Wings Upon Their Chest… (From Ballad Of The Green Berets)
Ten Green Berets will receive Silver Stars today for their heroism. Give thanks and praise.
You can read about it here, at Michelle Malkin’s place…
Ballad of the Green Berets
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green BeretSilver wings upon their chest
These are men, America’s best
One hundred men we’ll test today
But only three win the Green BeretTrained to live, off nature’s land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage deep, from the Green BeretSilver wings upon their chest
These are men, America’s best
One hundred men we’ll test today
But only three win the Green BeretBack at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her this last requestPut 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
Duty, Honor, Country
