Ballad of The Green Beret

"Ballad of the Green Berets" is a patriotic song in the ballad style about the Green Berets, an elite special force in the U.S. Army. It is one of the very few songs of the 1960s to cast the military in a positive light and yet it became a major hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Charts for five weeks in 1966. 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. The first recording is Barry Sadler. The second recording on the video is from the movie soundtrack.

OATH FOR MEMBERS OF THE MILITIA
   I am an American, serving with the unorganized civilian militia which guards my homeland, state, and the constitutions thereof. 
   I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
   I will never surrender of my own free will. 
If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they have the means to resist.
If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means possible.

I will make every effort to escape, and aid others to escape. 
   I will accept neither parole, leniency, or any special favors by the enemy. 
If I become a POW, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. 
   I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. 
If in command, I will strive to maintain morale of those under my command. 
If not in command, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me.
When questioned as a POW, I am bound to give only name, rank, and date of birth. 
   I will evade answering any further questions to the best of my ability. 
   I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my beloved homeland and its citizens, or harmful to their continuing struggle for freedom as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States.
In all cases, I will endeavor to instruct and inform members of the unorganized militia units, seeking to persuade them to join the Patriot struggle; urging them for justice and conscience sake to return America to the Constitutional Republic our forefathers envisioned.
  I will never forget that I am an American, a citizen of the greatest nation on Earth, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made this country free. 
  I will place my trust in God, the Constitution of United States of America, and the loyalty of her people.

All four verses to the American National Anthem with explanation when needed

Oh! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

("Ramparts," in case you don't know, are the protective walls or other elevations that surround a fort.) The first stanza asks a question. The second gives an answer:

On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep.
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream
'Tis the star-spangled banner. Oh! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

"The towering steep" is again, the ramparts. The bombardment has failed, and the British can do nothing more but sail away, their mission a failure. In the third stanza I feel Key allows himself to gloat over the American triumph. In the aftermath of the bombardment, Key probably was in no mood to act otherwise?� During World War I when the British were our Staunchest allies, this third stanza was not sung. However, I know it, so here it is:

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

(The fourth stanza, a pious hope for the future, should be sung more slowly than the other three and with even deeper feeling):

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation,
Blest with victory and peace, may the Heaven - rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause is just,
And this be our motto --"In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I hope you will look at the national anthem with new eyes. Listen to it, the next time you have a chance, with new ears.Pay attention to the words.  And don't let them ever take it away ... not even one word of it.
AND IT'S SUNG IN ENGLISH!

JSM DEFENSE CONDITION GUIDE:

DEFCON 1. War or major Natural Disaster, our highest alert rating. The CSA is completely activated.

DEFCON 2. Strengthened security measures, members should stay in daily contact with cell leaders.

Flag of the First Pennsylvania Rifles: Thompson's Rifle Battalion.

Thompson's Rifle Battalion an early associator unit, and part of the Pennsylvania line in the Continental Army. The associators were a unique volunteer defense force founded by Benjamin Franklin and were the first volunteer citizen militia in the Commonwealth. (The Pennsylvania Militia: The Early Years, 1669-1792, by Samuel J. Newland, Ph.D. Professor, Military Education, U.S. Army War College, Carlisle Pennsylvania)

Washington's Cruisers Flag

George Washington used this flag on his squadron of six schooners in the fall of 1775. The flag was a variation of the New England Pine Tree flag. It was later modified and adopted by the Massachusetts Navy. The Sons of Liberty would rally under a large tree, in Boston Massachusetts, which came to be known as "The Liberty Tree". This tree became a symbol of American independence. Knowing they were up against a great military power they believed they were sustained by still a greater power, thus their "Appeal to Heaven".

    1: O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
2: Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
3: Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
4: I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
5: I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6: His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7: They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8: Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
9: Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

Bedford Minutemen

This colorful and dramatic battle flag was carried by the Bedford Minute Men at the Battle of Concord during the American Revolutionary War. These American Rebel Militiamen rallied around and Held Fast under this noble banner which depict the strong right ARM of an armored knight brandishing a sharp two-edged sword. The Knight's ARM extends from the clouds of heaven and clearly represents the Minutemen's "Appeal To Heaven" so that the strong and indeed all-powerful right ARM of YHVH might deliver them from the oppressions of their mighty enemies and thereby grant the American Rebel Militiamen Victory in Christ and peace on earth amongst men of good will. This group of Militia Minutemen fought bravely at the Battle of Concord and have left US with a legacy and heritage to uphold. Hold Fast!

Bunker Hill Battle Flag

After the outbreak of the American Revolution with American Rebel Militiamen fighting against British Regulars at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts in March of 1775, the American Rebels fortified themselves at various areas of higher ground (hills) to protect Boston from seizure by the British Army and American Tory Loyalists. On June 17, 1775 the American troops  successfully defended themselves from the British in the first major large scale significant battle of the War For American Independence on Bunker Hill near Boston. If you are a free born White American you have a heritage to be proud of and very much worth defending! FREEDOM!

Gadsden Militia Flag

American Rebel Colonel Gadsden of  the South Carolina Colony devised one of the first Rattlesnake flags. The inscription "Don't Tread On Me" served notice and was a warning to the British that it was just as dangerous to tread on the colonies as it was to step on a rattlesnake. The Rattlesnake Battle Flags in various forms became tremendously popular with the American Rebels during the War for American Independence.

Bennington Militia Flag

This grand and noble battle flag inspired General John Stark's Militia in a successful defense of the military stores at Bennington, Vermont on August 16, 1777. The original Bennington Militia Flag is preserved in the museum at Bennington, Vermont. Part of our noble and honorable heritage as American Rebel Militiamen!

Grand Union Flag or 1st. Continental Army Flag

In 1776, the Colonies adopted the thirteen stripes to represent the thirteen Colonies and kept the Kings Colors in the Canton to illustrate their allegiance to Great Britain but their willingness to fight for their rights and justice. This flag was raised by General Washington at Cambridge and  is often referred to as the Cambridge flag, it is also known as The First Continental Army Flag. Some historians state that it was the first flag flown officially by the regular Continental Army under General George Washington. Needless to say the Union was dissolved with American Independence! Nevertheless a bond of kinship, shared heritage and Christian brotherhood remains between the USA and Great Britain. A strong alliance in Western Christendom indeed!

In Defiance of Tyranny!

One must understand: The framers of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence never intended for Islam/Muslims to be included in "Freedom of Religion".  It was understood that the acceptable definitions of religion were based on Judeo-Christian organizations, which were at the time Protestants, Catholics, Quakers, Amish, and a smattering of Jews. 

Islam occupied the top of the food chain when it came to Infidels/Christian Hating.  Although separated by several hundreds of years, early American Citizens bragged/boasted having Crusader Blood flowing in their veins. And stories of the Crusades were fond tales to be told as well as heard.

Real Patriotic Americans AKA Jefferson State Militia stands ready to correct such as described in the following:

After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its
powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends
its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with
a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which
the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot
penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered,
but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they
are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy,
but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses,
enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is
reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals,
of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville
