Audie Murphy. He was the most decorated soldier in WWII. Beside receiving the MOH he also received the Distinguish Service Cross, Silver Star (x2), Legion of Merit, Bronze Star (x2) and the Purple Heart (X3). He received numerous other awards during WWII. He also received the French Legion of Honor, French Croix de Guerre and the Belgium Croix de Guerre.
He was an actor and singer/songwriter. The man impresses me with his success both in the military and as a civilian. From growing up as a son of sharecroppers to American Hero.
My vote goes to Audie Murphy.

SFC Leroy A. Petry is pretty badass.
If you ever want to read some odd citations for MoHs then go to the Indian Wars. Soldiers got the Medal for some random reason. Later on 900 were revoked only to be reinstated by congress.
