This is, apparently, only a partial listing of Rambo's honors as in a deleted scene from ''Rambo III'', Rambo's "Class A" uniform can clearly be seen with the following 13 ribbons:
  +
*[[Medal of Honor]] - Awarded two and refused another (though multiple nominations may be submitted, by law only one award for the Medal of Honor may occur.)
  +
*[[Army Distinguished Service Medal]]
  +
*[[Distinguished Flying Cross (United States)|Distinguished Flying Cross]]
  +
*[[Soldier's Medal]]
  +
*[[Bronze Star Medal|Bronze Star]]
  +
*[[Purple Heart]]
  +
*[[Air Medal]]
  +
*[[Combat Action Ribbon]] - This award is actually for US Navy, Coast Guard and Marine personnel, so this could be either an error on part of the film makers or Rambo could have possibly been awarded one for a joint-service operation.
  +
*[[Vietnam Service Medal]]
  +
*[[Prisoner of War Medal]]
  +
*[[Army Service Ribbon]]
  +
*[[Vietnam Wound Medal]]
  +
*[[Vietnam Campaign Medal]]
  +
  +
In a measure of discontinuity within the storyline, Rambo's [[Silver Star]]s and [[Distinguished Service Cross (United States Army)|Distinguished Service Cross]] were missing from his ribbon rack as well as the [[National Defense Medal]] and the [[Good Conduct Medal]], both of which he would have been awarded.
  +
  +
Various special duty badges can also be seen on Rambo's "Class A" uniform, including:
  +
*[[Combat Infantryman Badge]]
  +
*[[Aircrew Badge|Aircraft Crewman Badge]]
  +
*[[Parachutist Badge (United States)|Senior Combat Parachutist Badge]]
  +
*[[Weapons Qualification Badge|Expert Weapons Qualification Badge]]
  +
  +
Additionally, in this same scene, Rambo's Social Security Number is revealed: 936-01-1758. However, the Social Security Administration does not issue a SSN with the prefix 936. Citizens in Arizona, Rambo's home state, are issued SSNs with the prefixes 526-527, 600-601, and 764-765. This was probably done to avoid the chances that Rambo's fictional SSN would match that of a real living person.
