SPECIAL FORCES FACTS:
When asked what is the rarest award that a soldier can receive, most people say "The Medal of Honor".
Actually it is the third award of the Combat Medical Badges only two soldiers have received that honor.
The next rarest award is the third award of the Combat Infantry Badge of which there were only 308 that are recorded at the Infantry Museum.
Triple Combat Infantryman's Badge WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
One of only 324 US Soldiers ever entitled to wear the Combat Infantry Badge with 2 Stars.
Of that 308 there are 35 of our SF comrades who have received this honor
