Sadler is a non-commissioned officer with the Green Berets of the U.S. Army Special Forces. Here are the songs of men in action, sung against impending death, loneliness, despair and hardship, performed by a survivor of those experiences. Fighting men have sung their songs from the dawn of civilization; songs written on shields, battlements, helmets. Sergent Sadler's compositions are part of a great tradition that binds brave men together through history. The Ballad of the Green Berets is a tribute to his buddies. There are songs of courage (Badge of Courage and Salute to the Nurses) and of irony (Garet Trooper).
