A little bird sporting a Green Beret forwarded this story to me and I thought I'd share it. Congratulations to the Special Forces! From War On Terror News:
Fifty years ago, on November 24, 1961, President John F Kennedy, officially authorized the wear of the distinctive headgear of the Green Beret for US Army Special Forces. It was a decision that overrode the opinions of conventional Army Generals at the time and the result of the commander of US Army Special Forces at Ft Bragg, NC risking the backlash from conventional officers by ordering the wear of the unauthorized headgear in a parade the President was watching.
