FORMER GREEN BERET OFFICER RALLIES AMERICA TO SUPPORT SPECIAL FORCES FIGHTING WAR AGAINST TERRORISM
Robinson says that more importantly "money will go to the Special Forces Association's Scholarship fund for the children of fallen soldiers in the War against Terrorism. Unfortunately there's not a shortage of qualified recipients." Support will also go to continue the legacy of the John F. Kennedy Special Forces Museum at Fort Bragg, NC.
"In Honor of Army Special Forces" combines patriotic spoken word with stunning and modern musical scores to tell the story of these Shadow Warriors that we know so little about and in a way that only an insider could do. Robinson points out that the CD gives Americans and indeed people around the world a better understanding of how important these men are to our freedom and life as we know it.
When asked why he produced this CD, Robinson said, "I'm a civilian now, safe and warm for the time being. I've decided to do everything in my power to make sure America supports our troops and my best friends. I had too many friends and former colleagues caught in the ambush and ensuing gun battles in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993, which formed the basis for the movie Black Hawk Down. I won't turn my back on my friends and this time around I want to make sure every single person in the United States of America feels the same way. Producing a CD seemed like a good way to get the message across to a wide audience."
He's most likely on to something. Both young and older Americans alike know the tune by Barry Sadler made popular by John Wayne in the 1960's Hollywood blockbuster "The Green Berets." It's not hard to recall lyrics "Fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump and die. One hundred men will test today, but only three win the Green Beret." The Ballad of the Green Berets sold over two million copies in five weeks and according to Robinson is played every single morning and evening for aspiring soldiers when they attend the grueling Special Forces Qualification Course at Fort Bragg, NC.
No stranger to terrorism himself, Robinson witnessed its brutality first hand while stationed in occupied Berlin in 1986. His life changed forever when a terrorist bomb exploded in a popular nightclub called the Labelle Disco, frequented by American servicemen. Many of Robinson's men were hurt in the blast, which injured over two hundred and killed three.
President Reagan responded by attacking Libya; the terrorist eventually countered by downing Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, killing 259 people on the plane and 11 people on the ground; Robinson responded by volunteering for Special Forces and becoming a counter-terrorist expert.
Four A-Teams, four languages, three continents and numerous hazardous duty missions, Robinson's dossier covers the gambit of Conventional and Special Operations. His missions and most of his past activities remain classified to this day.
As a civilian, Robinson earned a Masters Degree in Information Technology, ran several small businesses and now helps lead global technology efforts for Procter & Gamble. He keeps in touch with Special Operations, Law Enforcement and the Intelligence Community and is often asked to speak in support of the war effort. He's also considered a community leader and stays involved in activities such as reducing youth violence in Cincinnati.
