In the year 1961, President Kennedy authorized the wear of the green beret for Special Forces soldiers. At the event that this happened, President Kennedy delivered a speech whereby he made the green beret a "mark of distinction in the trying times ahead." The Green Berets became a very real distinction of excellence among special forces at that very moment.
