"Men who mean just what they say, the brave men of the Green Berets."
Remember when Barry sang it on Ed Sullivan?

I just watched "The Green Berets" yesterday -- the Turner cable channels love to do John Wayne moviefests.
I love that movie! :)
"Out here, due process is a bullet."
Wayne was determined to make this film, even though he was aware of the fact that many would view him as a warmonger. In Wayne's mind, our country needed a healthy dose of patriotism.
A big "thank you" to our vets who have served and sacrificed so that we may be free ... and to those who gave all: You are never forgotten ...
Regards,
Nan
