The green beret, now a distinguished emblem of the U.S. Special Forces, traces its roots back to 1953. It was Special Forces Major Herbert Brucker who initiated its use, a vision later embraced by First Lieutenant Roger Pezelle. Pezelle integrated the green beret into the identity of his elite group, Operational Detachment FA-32. Despite its rapid adoption by special forces units in the field, the U.S. Army initially did not officially recognize it.This changed in 1961 at Fort Bragg when President John F. Kennedy played a pivotal role in legitimizing the green beret. He instructed General Yarborough to have all special forces members wear the beret during an event. In his speech, President Kennedy declared the green beret a symbol of distinction, recognizing the unique challenges ahead. From that moment, the beret became a respected badge of honor among special forces.
Every year on November 22nd, the anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination, several Green Berets pay tribute to him by visiting his gravesite. They honor his legacy by laying a wreath and placing a green beret on his tomb. If Kennedy were alive today, he would still be celebrated for elevating the status of the special forces on a global scale.
Today, Green Berets are recognized as an elite group of soldiers, known for their exceptional skills and training. They endure the toughest conditions and thrive in challenging situations, earning the respect of their peers and the nation. Their capabilities go beyond those of ordinary soldiers, highlighting their self-reliance and competence in the field.
President Kennedy’s recognition allowed these soldiers to stand out as leaders in combat, just as he stood out as a leader of the United States. The history of the green berets is a testament to their dedication and President Kennedy’s enduring impact on their legacy.
