Major Todd (Of the Green Berets) & Special Forces (King, Ray) (Ambassador Records # 210). Same songs as Lonesome Valley Singers. Released on same group of record labels. Ray King most probably a member of that group. Patriotic, expressed loyalty to soldiers and support for government argument that they were protecting the US - domino theory - "fought...to protect the shores of the USA". Major Todd Special Forces
