My brother was not a Green Beret (a group that I admire), but he gave his life in Vietnam November 4, 1966. His name was Howard Leslie Walker and he was a year older than I was. We still miss him and think of him every day, as I'm sure that other families still mourn the loss of their loved ones in this war and EVERY war.

My great grandfather was in WWI, my grandfathers(both) were in WWII, and my dad.. who at 75 is my BEST friend and hero was in Vietnam from 69-71.. The others come home to a hero's welcome.. whereas my dad, who as a door gunner and the crew chief survived over 10 shot down hueys, saw ALOT.. (he doesn't talk about it) was looked DOWN on and he was doing exactly like the grandfather's were doing- following orders. Pisses me off. Those pieces of crap should have aimed all of their protesting at Washington.. not people like my father.. a kid. He stayed in the Army full time for over 20 years and retired , got into law enforcement.. was a cop part time and worked full time for the Ga State Board of Pardons & Parole.. which he needed a bachelor's degree to get that job.. The US Army put him through college . Before he was drafted he was on the path of being a diesel mechanic/stock car engine builder like his father.. His retirement check from the Army is SUBSTANTIAL.. HE IS A REAL MAN .. YEARS ago he told me "I paid the hippies no attention.. If they were being shot at they'd shoot back too. It wasn't about apple pie or baseball.. it was all about protecting the guy next to me.. they can go to hell.." He will not watch war movies at all. I KNOW I'm straying.. but I take every opportunity to talk about him.. He is EXTREMELY HUMBLE .. and when someone says something to him about "war hero" he gets red faced and says "the heros are the ones that didn't come back.. the ones that died so I could... '' He is the smartest and best man I have ever known.. So the hippies can SUCK IT. GOD BLESS ALL THE FALLEN ONES.. WE BITCH , PISS AND MOAN.. and all those fallen were fighting for our rights to PISS and moan. God Bless THE HEROS AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT have to experience the pain of losing their loved ones. God Bless America...It isn't perfect BUT I CAN TYPE THAT WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED! 🙏🤦🏿‍♂️

What a wonderful selfless man to share this beautiful song with us, and for him to give his life in such a sad tormented way because he loved America so. I lost dear friends in Vietnam and they were treated horribly. May God bless this hero and I thank him for his sacrifice in trying to make this world a better place. ❤

I grew up at a young age listening to ssgt.barryvsadler .2 of my uncle's were green berets .my great uncle. Served in vietnam as an advisor .he had over 1100 jumps .he never would talk about it .he served atca very young age of 15 towards the end of the great war to end all wars. WW11 airborne his history is a lengthy one .jumped on the corregidor with the 503rd the rock in the phillipines .helped free the fillipines so macarthur could return .I respected him dearly and admired him greatly .sadly though I never got to meet him .but talked to him via tthe phone and letters

2:52 "A small group, with a big mouth." Said in 1966! Prophetic. Depressingly prophetic. The world needs men like this guy more than ever.

What a strong character and a life cut short, can't count the times I listen to his song. If you ever want to pay respects he is at the Nashville National Cemetery.

First time I heard this song I was a kid ~ 7yo but it hit me hard. My family were very patriotic but the number of kids dying in & for Vietnam was causing doubts within. The war lacked an end game and became something that tore our country in half. Returning soldiers being treated as if they were enemy combatants rather than the poor victims they actually were. I felt confused bc this song was so inspiring but my family was getting split into 2 parts. Very confusing times for our country that resulted in many many people behaving very badly. Thank you very much for producing a great song and condolences to the untold thousands of families who lost love ones to this "police action".

I served in the Navy for just over decade, and I'm always proud to see and hear Sgt Barry Sandler.

This song made me sing up after high school. I fail the eye exam and my dream was shattered. My best friend did join and became a decorated Green Bere and gave his life in 2007 to an i.e.d.. His memory will live on forever and he now sleeps amongst the long list of heroes in Arlington National Cemetery. At 50 years old I'd still join if they would let me. I have always believed in the Ranger creed and what the Green Bere stands for.....❤

My late husband earned a green beret. Their official name is "US Army Special Forces." This song describes my husband so well. He was one of the two best men I ever met.

Now more than ever, AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW THIS HISTORY, of valor,courage and patriotism.

My wife’s stepfather, an 87 year old retired Green Beret just sent this to me. He served with SSG Sadler in the 1960’s.

I was in Viet Nam 1966-1967 and one of our assignments as a Combat Engineer Unit, the 18th Engineer Bigrade, 299th Combat Engineer Battalion Company Bravo. We went on a mission with the 5th Special Forces A Team, they were in Doc-To and the Montagnards that was just behind our unit on the hill, my unit built an underground hospital and a 4' moot all the way around the hospital. We were there for 69 day and the Chief of the Montagnards village invited the Senior NCO's and Officers to the village to meet the tribesmen of the village. There were a couple of things I tasted and some I couldn't handle, if I don't know what it is I don't eat it.The tribes people made us rice wine that had a cheater stick on the top of the container, you had to sip through the bamboo straw until it cleared the top of the liquid. They were good and caring people, a little afraid of us and stand offish when they knew we were good friendly people they loosened up. When SSG Sadler mentioned that they ate rats I saw that happen in person, the village people lined up waiting for us to leave. I thought that was nice of them, they were waiting for the rats to come out of the bunkers we slept in, the rats had dug holes in the sides of our bunker, when we pulled stake to leave the rats head for the woods, the village people ran them down grabbed them by the tail, snapped their necks and put them on a fire, then they beat the rats with a bigger bamboo stick to loosen the skin from the meat then eat them. I'm sorry this is so long, just wanted to share what I had seen with my own eyes.
