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 the Vietnam War. Moore also wrote a non-fiction book, The Green Berets, about the force. Ballad of the Green Beret by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler and Robin Moore, copyright 1966 Ballad of the Green Beret. 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.
