    Special Forces Crest

Emblazoned on the distinctive black and silver crest worn by Special Forces soldiers is the Special Forces motto: De Oppresso Liber, a Latin phrase that means To Free the Oppressed. Two crossed arrows symbolize the Special Forces' role in unconventional warfare. A fighting knife is attached over the arrows, which reflect the qualities of a Special Forces soldier - straight and true. The knife, a silent deadly weapon, was used by the American Indian.
