A man and woman in uniform standing next to each other

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 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 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 daughter's chest Make her one of America's best She'll be a woman they'll test one day Have him win the Green Beret
