As we have all branches represented here, I was interested to learn each view on who their major icon/hero is and why. I am hoping to learn something interesting and hopefully spread a little knowledge from my sister services on the forum as well.

WOW, well there are so many and then I have to consider whether it is the Aviation Branch, barely 30 years old or the Warrant Officer branch which is now defunct or even the Army. See it changes things because it can be an E-1 through O-10 if it is the Aviation branch, otherwise as a warrant officer it has to be a WO1 through CW5. Should it be a mentor who made an impression beyond all others or someone whose been bestowed the MoH? Tough decision, going to have to think on this a while.

CW5 Sam R. Baker In my opinion, CW4 (Ret) Michael J. Novosel Sr. checks all the boxes you've mentioned.

I think CW2 Colton, and CW2 Fortenberry are also up for consideration. Sacrificing themselves to protect a fuel convoy in Iraq. Without their cover and support, the convoy would have been wiped out by a numerically and strategically superior force.
