A Wife Remembers A word in the House, a stroke of a Pen the country disbanded a body of Men with fighting finesse and fitness supreme the créme de la créme wore the berets of Green. Their training was tough, it had to be so how to fight with a knife, how to kill with a blow Solerno, Bardia, Dieppe, St. Nazaire, when impossible odds, the Commandos were there. Their raids so successful that Hitler said "If captured, no prisoners - I want these men dead! Too late he discovered his men were not keen to Battle with those wearing berets of Green. On D-Day Sword Beach they were to the fore as they jumped from their boats and made for the Shore their contempt for the Nazis was plain to be seen for they wore not steel helmets but the berets of Green. When it was over, the fighting no more the first they disbanded the Green beret 'Corp' who went back to their shire, their town, their Glen a body of gentle self disciplined men. Yet forty years on they still meet, it is said to talk - toast their Queen, and remember their Dead whos memorial stands at the foot of the Ben where they trained for the right to be Green beret men. For our Freedom of movement our freedom speech to those who came after the gospel I preach A word in the House, a stroke of the pen cannot wipe out our debt to those Green beret men. |

"They shall not grow old as we are left to grow old,
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn, At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."
