For my time, Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf. I knew of him prior to Desert Storm as he was I Corp Commander in Ft. Lewis before CentCom. He really cared about the Army as a whole. He was not your normal ring knocker from West Point. (no offense, different time...) He pushed for so many improvements that were about quality of life issues for soldiers.
The Desert Storm thing? Just icing on his cake.

LTC Bruce Crandall, put himself in harms way several times to evacuate wounded grunts in the IA Drang valley, even when told to stay away.

Definitely my vote as an Army Aviator. Textbook definition of fighting and leading from the cockpit supporting the guys on the ground at the tip of the spear!

Audie Murphy earned every combat ribbon the Army had, made a number of movies and yet because of his PTSDÂ also had money problems and died broke, in a plane crash.
