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 (not from SF) 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. Of that 308 there are 35 of our SF comrades who have received this honor.
