Salute To Our Fighting Men In Vietnam
RCA Victor Dynagroove Recording, Mono LPM-3600 / Stereo LSP-3600, © 1966 Radio Corporation of America; arrangements by Elliot Lawrence, produced by Andy Wiswell; recorded in Webster Hall, New York City, recording engineer Mickey Crofford; public performance clearance ASCAP. Tracks with chorus include The Ballad of the Green Berets (2:40), Badge of Courage (2:42), The Green Beret (2:08) and Saigon (3:10). The front cover is a green-and-black painting of two U.S. soldiers in jungle foliage with a helicopter. Back-cover notes ("A Musical Gesture of Good Will to Heroic Men in Action") credit SSgt Barry Sadler's recording of The Ballad of the Green Berets, explain that Badge of Courage takes its name from President Kennedy's description of the green beret, that The Green Beret march was written by CWO Ken Whitcomb, chief arranger for the West Point Band, and that Saigon blends East and West with temple blocks, glass wind chimes, oriental cymbal, anklet bells, temple gong and fender bass. A photograph shows Lavalle accepting a citation from Major Daniel Baldwin of the U.S. Army Special Forces for being the first non-military band to perform The Green Beret march (June 14, 1965).
