Indonesian person here. I honestly like this song as much as I like military. And the lyric is just Meaningful and almost make me cry, especially at part "Young Wife until Son"
@dorismorris4148 : I'm originally from MI but moved to TX when I was 3. I'll say Thank you to your son for fighting all over the world! I had 2 Uncle's in Vietnam and 1 of them was fighting the riots at DC too. I saw his face in the video and told my classmates his name was Donald Paine Jr. (*Otherwise known as Jim.) From Detroit. He went to work at Pontiac when he came home & retired when Pontiac shutdown. He used to build the cars in the movies, I thought that was pretty cool! 😎 He's moved out of Detroit too.
Great rendition Steve ,having served 10 years in SADF commandos myself I lost many a precious friends I am proud to serve in the Lord's army for 58 years in the front lines bringing the gospel of Christ to South Africa in song ,God bless you Steve my friend Pastor Terrence Hanafey Daily Bread Ministries Pennington KZN ❤
May God bless you.. was taught in grade school this song.. even thoughi was young..did have goosebumps back then..not knowing I would have a son. Still gives me same feeling.
God bless you my brother or sister? It ain't the cost of war. You are the return on the investment those in power made to send other people's kids to keep them in profit.
My brother was a Green Beret. My father and three brothers served in the Armed Forces.I am so proud of all of them and all soldiers that defended this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both my husbands were career Rhodesian Light Infantry soldiers. My 2nd husband passed away 2 years ago, ever the proud Saint. A man in a million .. you did your battalion and country and family so very proud my beloved Chris❤ ❤❤
I think of my cousin who did two tours of duty in Vietnam. Now, I am the proud mother of a U.S. Blackhawk pilot. God bless and God's speed to the white Afrikaaners...beautiful rendition.
My first cousin was over there for two. Engineer. He was working at some hill, got called to another place, that night that hill was attacked and everyone was killed. Much respect for the Vietnam Vet and all out veterans!
Auch im Jahr 2023 ist dieses Lied immer noch aktuell ,ein sehr schönes Lied,habe jedesmal Tränen in den Augen ,Gott schütze alle Menschen,die fern von zuhause sind.Mein allergrößter Wunsch ist Weltfrieden 🙏✊
As a proud daughter, granddaughter and niece of soldiers this will always be my favorite song of all time and we will always appreciate what they did for us and note my family were in South African army RIP to my great great grandfather (he was also in army but I didn't know him that much)
I loved this interpretation of this song, as it was of the average soldier who actually performs the bulk of the duties of his country, thankyou sirs for your service.
I can only hope that your country / state is still looking after you for what you have done for your country/ state? And not ending up on the streets begging for money just to stay alive!! 😊
Just curious. Where were you when you earned a medal for bravery? SF had pulled out of Vietnam before 1973. There were clandestine operations in Honduras but not aware of any other place where one would earn a medal for bravery. Which Group or Groups did you serve with? Might know some of the same people.
Originally sung by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler who was a Green Beret medic and achieved worldwide fame with this song. Steve you have given the late sergeant a fitting tribute. Well sung and the message to South Africans is clear.
I'm a Marine vet, daughter of a 2 Vietnam tour retired Marine dad, sister of a retired Marine brother,, sister of a Marine vet sister and proud mother of a Marine vet son who served 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. All military ballads give me goose bumps.
My grandad was also in Rhodesia on two occasions in '71 and '73, he was with the SA police and he was in charge of border patrol operations along the Zambezi River in the Kariba area.
In a war no one remembers. In a country forgotten. Our ships did many of tours between 1972 and 74 in Rhodesia. Out over Zambezi. AIR MOBIL 3. Army services Corps Air Platoon. Out of COSD Salisbury.
Nur die feigen u sparsamen europäer u vorallem da die deutschen mit Mutti u Scholz. Ganz Europa wurde durch Mutti Merkel zerstört. Sowohl rüstung als Zuwanderung u nato Zugehörigkeit.österreich u Deutschland sind der kranke Mann bzw Manninnen Europas.

Steve, ek het groot respek vir jou. Jy staan op vir wat reg is in SA. Ek is seker jy kan Americas best verander na South Africa best. Baie van ons jong manne het hul lewens gegee. Ek is bitter oor die doelloosheid daarvan. Maar dit was dit. Niks kan die verlede verander nie.
The high point of my entire life is when I wore the Green Beret which I joined because of their poster which said “People join us not because we’re different but because they are.” De oppresso liber is still the guiding principle of my life.
WOW!!!!!!! Wow, Wow, wow! The way Steve and Demi's voices complement each other is breathtaking. This is Music at its most gut wrenching, visceral, grab you in the feelers level. Please can we have some more.
me also being a born Hofmeyr will always say he is the best Afrikaans white singer South Africa has ever had and has up to now in Dec 2023, still unbelievable to think we have the same hofmeyr forefather,
Indonesian person here. I honestly like this song as much as I like military. And the lyric is just Meaningful and almost make me cry, especially at part "Young Wife until Son"
I am the proud mother of a soldier who loved his country and fought all over the world. He came home and we are thankful to God for his safety.

I’m 100% disabled from my service in Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan. I understand the cost of war. My heart goes out to our brave men and women
May God bless you.. was taught in grade school this song.. even thoughi was young..did have goosebumps back then..not knowing I would have a son. Still gives me same feeling.
God bless you my brother or sister? It ain't the cost of war. You are the return on the investment those in power made to send other people's kids to keep them in profit.
when one listens to this song one cannot believe he is from South Africa and is Afrikaans, he stays the best South African white Afrikaans singer
My brother was a Green Beret. My father and three brothers served in the Armed Forces.I am so proud of all of them and all soldiers that defended this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both my husbands were career Rhodesian Light Infantry soldiers. My 2nd husband passed away 2 years ago, ever the proud Saint. A man in a million .. you did your battalion and country and family so very proud my beloved Chris❤ ❤❤

Thank you GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR SON AND THE USA AND SOUT AFRICA
Doesn't the hawk ever get tired or is your son very light?
@Shiraz Adams what an idiotic thing to say. Grow up!

Ich bin bei Dir, sehe es genau so
I love this song and the video reminds of my late dad (Capt. Monte Smith) because he flew Hueys in the Army during this period.
As a proud daughter, granddaughter and niece of soldiers this will always be my favorite song of all time and we will always appreciate what they did for us and note my family were in South African army RIP to my great great grandfather (he was also in army but I didn't know him that much)

I WAS A GREEN BERET FROM 1973 TO 1978 AND WHEN I DISCHARGED I WAS A E-6 AND I GOT A MEDAL FOR BRAVERY 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I can only hope that your country / state is still looking after you for what you have done for your country/ state? And not ending up on the streets begging for money just to stay alive!! 😊
My son Ed Rochlinski had a heart of gold and he was looking for his true love but never found her ,His 💔 was broken over and over 💔

There were clandestine operations in Honduras but not aware of any other place where one would earn a medal for bravery. Which Group or Groups did you serve with? Might know some of the same people.
God bless you brother and thank you for the service to it cannot be said enough and the good Lord bless you and yours
Wow.! What an awesome song.
A soldier does not hate what is in front of him. A soldier simply protects what he left behind him.
Stupid quote from someone who has never been there.
Dear Sir i was a soldier once. This quote is not fom me.@@rexmasters1541
Hooah
From a brit, total respect.
Originally sung by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler who was a Green Beret medic and achieved worldwide fame with this song. Steve you have given the late sergeant a fitting tribute. Well sung and the message to South Africans is clear.
