The legacy of Army Special Operations has been forged across many battlefields and conflict zones by the deeds of courageous warriors. The actions of the thirty-two Army Special Operations Medal of Honor recipients described in this site represent the strength and fierce resolve that are central elements of our legacy. These Soldiers and their actions must be remembered and memorialized; they are exemplars for today’s ARSOF Soldier.
