In a recent battle in Afghanistan 10 American soldiers earned the Silver Star. That's a lot. It was a fierce battle in which several American soldiers were wounded, none fatally. About 200 of the enemy were killed. Here is some video from the battle. It is a bit confusing, and hard to follow, but that is usually the way battles are.
