What's the history and tradition behind the Special Forces ring? I've seen a few variations of them, but the general design is essentially what I've attached below.

The first time I saw them was when I attended SFAS and every point sitter seem to have one. I vividly remember staring at Mr. Simmon's ring when he was recording my time in one of my STAR score cards.

I've noticed that the younger SF guys don't usually wear them (E-6 to most new E-8s, and even fewer officers). Is this a tradition that is dying? Is there more to this?

PS - If we ever add another forum, we should have an "SF History and Traditions" forum. I think it is important for us young guys to learn from our past. If another forum is deemed necessary, that is.
