Rangers are the best, proven everyday;
The man is what’s measured, not the color of beret.
The beret issue was laid to rest,
It’s history simple, worn by the best.
Of flesh and blood; no less, no
more.
Training day after day, preparing for war.
The tan beret now donned with pride,
Honoring the living and those that
died.
Duties are many, a soldier’s every
need,
They have their guidelines, “The Ranger Creed.”
Faith in themselves and in what their leaders say;
The rangers are trained to be leaders another day.
Rangers young and old gathered on the parade field;
Honoring their lineage, never to
yield.
Rangers remembered, both living and dead;
Their service complete, no more need be said.
