Every time I hear the Ballad of the Green Beret I get a little sentimental.

I don't know why. Perhaps it is because my military career didn't work out as planned? Perhaps it's because I want my kids to be brave and live a fulfilling life. I don't know...
These men and women are cut from a different cloth. No matter if military or law enforcement... there's great stories of bravery under fire. I have not seen combat while in service (nor involved in OIS while peace officer), I know I'd c**p my pants. But we need to have courage, freeing the oppressed and keep fighting the good fight.
I'm afraid today's kids are different, including mine. It makes me sad, but somehow I'll have to deal with it.
These lyrics mean a lot and perfectly describe the mentality of courageous b******s that would die for what they love!

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 Americas best
One hundred men will test today but
Only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off natures land
Trained in combat hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage take from the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men Americas 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 this last request
Put silver wings on my sons chest
Make him one of Americas best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret
