About me:

it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. it is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. it is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. it is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. it is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag, & whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. .. If you do anything, watch this in its entirety... it's truely worth it!

The Blue Beret

The Army has it's claim to fame;

The Airborne Rangers, the Green Berets.

The world knows the Navy Seals;

Life of Danger, Men of Steel.

The Corps have their elite too;

Recon Patrol, the Proud, the Few.

But when it comes to us, not much is heard;

We're just the Cops who guard the birds.

In Vietnam, through toil and strife,

We gave it all, our hearts, our life.

A page in history, a chapter in time;

We fought for freedom, yours and mine.

We stayed vigilant through cold and rain,

and bear the fatigue, hardship, and pain.

This piece of ground, we will defend,

Side by side ..til the bitter end.

So fear not pilot, you can fly all day,

This base is guarded by the Blue Beret
