1
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:26.560
Down through the years, there have been men,

2
00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:36.880
brave, gallant men, who have done that others might be free.

3
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:46.600
And even now, they do it still.

4
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:58.620
Brave, gallant men, know that someone can still live.

5
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:08.100
Gallant men have built us a nation, passed us a torch of flame.

6
00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:15.020
Let us hold it high and light up the sky.

7
00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:20.760
With praise of our gallant men.

8
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:34.200
When Jack and Marge are home again, we'll raise our eyes.

9
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:42.400
Long live our love, long live our happiness.

10
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:50.040
Here's a toast to happiness, long live our love.

11
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:58.700
When we were childs with sweet hearts, we had made a simple vow.

12
00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:06.400
Vows to love each other, and I know we won't stop now.

13
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:15.160
Long live our love, long live our happiness.

14
00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:23.160
Here's a toast to happiness, long live our love.

15
00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:31.160
Something's come between us, and it's not another girl.

16
00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:39.620
But a lot of people need you, they're in trouble in the world.

17
00:02:41.880 --> 00:02:49.240
It's the fighting that has come between us, and it's taken you far, far away.

18
00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:57.440
But please don't wonder if I'll be faithful, you're in my heart both night and day.

19
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:05.140
So darling, I send my love to you, while you are fighting overseas.

20
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:13.900
And I know one day we are lucky, God will send you back to me.

21
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:25.040
Long live our love, long live our happiness.

22
00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:33.620
Here's a toast to happiness, long live our love.

23
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:41.640
Please, please Lord, don't let anything happen to her, please.

24
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.360
I'm waiting for you, Johnny, I'm waiting.

25
00:03:52.020 --> 00:04:00.300
Long live our love, long live our happiness.

26
00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:08.400
Here's a toast to happiness, long live our love.

27
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:16.780
Long live our love, long live our happiness.

28
00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:36.800
Fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump and die.

29
00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:42.640
Men who mean just what they say.

30
00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:48.340
The brave men of the Green Beret.

31
00:04:48.340 --> 00:05:00.580
Silver wings upon their chests, these are men, America's best.

32
00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:12.580
One hundred men will test today, but only three when the Green Beret.

33
00:05:12.580 --> 00:05:25.300
Trained to live off nature's land, trained in combat hand to hand.

34
00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:36.620
Men who fight by night and day, courage take from the Green Beret.

35
00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:48.600
Silver wings upon their chests, these are men, America's best.

36
00:05:49.880 --> 00:06:00.960
One hundred men will test today, but only three when the Green Beret.

37
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.400
Back at home, a young wife waits.

38
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.560
Her Green Beret has met his fate.

39
00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:18.520
He has died for those oppressed.

40
00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:24.580
Leaving her, this last request.

41
00:06:24.580 --> 00:06:30.840
Put silver wings on my son's chest.

42
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.900
Make him one of America's best.

43
00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:42.820
He'll be a man, they'll test one day.

44
00:06:44.780 --> 00:06:49.640
Have him win, the Green Beret.

45
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:02.820
There's a star spangled on a way, big somewhere.

46
00:07:04.900 --> 00:07:10.820
In a distant land, so many miles away.

47
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:19.740
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there.

48
00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:27.480
That is also where I want to live someday.

49
00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:35.840
I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry.

50
00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:43.920
Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly too.

51
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:51.960
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere.

52
00:07:52.900 --> 00:07:59.840
Waving on the land of heroes, brave and true.

53
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.700
Though I realize I'm crippled, that is true, sir.

54
00:08:11.700 --> 00:08:19.700
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted legs.

55
00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:27.640
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir.

56
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:35.400
Let me help to bring the enemy down a path.

57
00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:43.360
If I do some great deed, I will be a hero.

58
00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:51.580
And a hero brave is what I want to be.

59
00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:59.460
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere.

60
00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:08.100
In that heaven, there must be a place for me.

61
00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:15.700
In that heaven, there must be a place for me.

62
00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:23.700
The other day I heard someone say,

63
00:09:24.260 --> 00:09:28.040
You know, America is in real trouble.

64
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:31.240
It's true.

65
00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:35.320
Old glory has never fallen so close to the earth.

66
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.820
Our embassies are being stoned.

67
00:09:39.380 --> 00:09:42.060
Our diplomats are often in fear for their lives.

68
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.500
And we're involved in a half dozen nameless,

69
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.880
winless conflicts, spilling American blood on foreign soil.

70
00:09:50.340 --> 00:09:52.380
Our young men are dying for ideals

71
00:09:52.380 --> 00:09:55.700
which don't seem to mean too much to Americans anymore.

72
00:09:57.780 --> 00:10:03.460
The truth is, America's real trouble doesn't lie in the rice paddies of Vietnam,

73
00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:09.420
in the masses of Red China, or in the diabolical intrigues to the south of us.

74
00:10:10.060 --> 00:10:12.880
The real trouble lies in the playgrounds of St. Louis,

75
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.260
the hillside mansions of San Francisco,

76
00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:19.960
and in the slums of Chicago.

77
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.900
The disease which is slowly eating away at the heart of America

78
00:10:24.900 --> 00:10:27.020
lives in the small southern towns,

79
00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:29.500
the fishing villages of New England,

80
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.340
and in the hot, dusty streets of the Midwest.

81
00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:36.000
This is the age of the American cynic,

82
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.680
the year of the unbeliever,

83
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:40.400
the day of doubt.

84
00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:43.140
We've killed all the sacred cows

85
00:10:43.140 --> 00:10:45.300
and destroyed all the images,

86
00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:47.800
and there's nothing left to respect.

87
00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:54.180
Old-fashioned love of God, country, and family is passe.

88
00:10:55.540 --> 00:10:59.120
We stare at our shoelaces when they play the national anthem.

89
00:10:59.900 --> 00:11:03.520
We wouldn't want to be seen at a political rally or a town hall meeting,

90
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.240
and we don't want to be caught with our eyes closed during public prayers.

91
00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:13.940
We've decided the only way to get into public office is to buy it.

92
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.780
Our heroes are the fast guys who get away with things.

93
00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:22.900
Patriotism, the old hand over the heart,

94
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.840
flag-waving, singing patriotism,

95
00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:28.120
has been condemned.

96
00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:32.900
Think about this.

97
00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:38.460
Patriotism, when you tear away the fancy phrases in great paper,

98
00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:41.240
is plain and simple pride.

99
00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:46.920
It's a new car, prettier girl, bigger house sort of pride and country.

100
00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:50.040
Somewhere along the way we've lost that pride.

101
00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.500
Our form of government is the same.

102
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.620
We still say America stands for the same things.

103
00:11:57.640 --> 00:11:59.380
But next time you're at a party,

104
00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:04.260
ask someone to sing America with you and see what happens.

105
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.160
The basic ideals and structure of America hasn't changed.

106
00:12:10.900 --> 00:12:12.040
We have.

107
00:12:13.060 --> 00:12:14.840
You and me.

108
00:12:18.680 --> 00:12:19.980
Our enemies know it.

109
00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:24.460
They've seen the newsreels of the discontented marching around the Capitol.

110
00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:28.120
They've distorted and blown up our mistakes.

111
00:12:29.280 --> 00:12:32.880
They've been putting steel wedges in the cracks in our wall of solidarity.

112
00:12:34.260 --> 00:12:37.020
The new idea is, don't attack America,

113
00:12:38.060 --> 00:12:39.280
wear it down gradually.

114
00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:43.720
It'll eventually fall under the weight of its own corruption.

115
00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:48.900
And did you know it's working?

116
00:12:53.560 --> 00:12:55.420
This sneering complacency,

117
00:12:55.860 --> 00:13:01.580
once stamped out by the bloody feet of a tattered Continental Army in 1776,

118
00:13:02.280 --> 00:13:06.780
once drowned beneath the keel of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor Bay,

119
00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:08.780
has risen again.

120
00:13:09.520 --> 00:13:13.680
This deadly let George do it attitude lights the way for the Viet Cong

121
00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:15.920
and the swampy jungles of Vietnam.

122
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.900
This better rid than dead cancer is more feared by the American soldier

123
00:13:20.900 --> 00:13:22.900
than all the communist mortar shells.

124
00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:26.540
It kills the vitality and spirit of America.

125
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.800
Democracy is a frail and fragile instrument

126
00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:33.580
made of hope, prayer, and Yankee ingenuity.

127
00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:38.120
It is held together by Fourth of July flag-waving patriotism,

128
00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:41.060
and we've almost exhausted our supply.

129
00:13:42.640 --> 00:13:43.900
Try this test.

130
00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:47.740
Lift your eyes to a flag, then sing out,

131
00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:49.400
as loud as you can,

132
00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:55.020
that old outworn antiquated freedom hymn you learned so many years ago.

133
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.480
For Purple Mountain's majesty.

134
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:09.380
Above the fruited plain.

135
00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:11.260
America.

136
00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:14.560
America.

137
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.020
God shed his grace on me.

138
00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:28.580
Now if you feel a little pride welling up inside of you,

139
00:14:29.520 --> 00:14:31.900
if you feel a little mist in your eye,

140
00:14:32.640 --> 00:14:35.320
then thank God for you, mister.

141
00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:38.780
You're still an American.

142
00:14:41.060 --> 00:14:42.460
America.

143
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.000
America.

144
00:14:47.140 --> 00:14:51.640
God shed his grace on me.

145
00:14:53.800 --> 00:14:59.980
And crown my good with brotherhood.

146
00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:09.680
God shed his grace on me.
