A news break last evening reported the passing of Robin Moore, who co-wrote the lyrics for the "Ballad of the Green Berets", which was one of the major hit songs of 1966. The song was also featured in the film based on Moore's book which starred John Wayne.

SSgt. Barry Sadler from my home state of New Mexico, sadly, died in 1989 as a result of a gunshot in Gautelmala City.
 
Also:

Ssgt. Sadler also spent a bit of time with a record company in Nashville (not as an artist). I happened to inadvertantly stumble into his office one day while in Music City on a vacation. He had his gold record for "Ballad Of The Green Berets" up on the wall, and we had a pleasant conversation.
