Who was the greatest Military Hero you have ever met?

I recently had the amazing opportunity to meet 23 of the surviving Medal of Honor Recipients in Nashville! The most interesting person that I got to talk to was Col. Bruce Crandall. He was the Huey pilot during the battle of Ia Drang in Vietnam (We were Soldiers). He was so funny and he kept asking the women if they would like to see his "Good Conduct" medal. He told them it was up in his hotel room! Freaking funny! He told me that he originally turned down his MOH right after Vietnam because his co-pilot (Too Tall) was denied it for a lessor award. He told the General who called to shove it! He said it was only until FMR President George W. Bush that they BOTH received it! I think he made sure "Too Tall" got it first! What a true friend! I was just wondering, Who have you met that blew your mind? Living heroes they all are and a treasure to our country!
