Medal Of Honor series - Have just finished watching this lot of doco's and I recommend it it is so worth seeing and listening to what the individuals did to gain the award.
Its not about being a hero or a gong hunter but the selfless act of an induvidual to save his brothers from a dire threat at great personal risk to their own lives.

I was genuinely touched by each and every one of these men in most cases they are not alive to say anything about their exploits.
Those that did survive and were able to say a few words did so in the vein they wished they could have saved more of their men or done more in that situation.
In one of the episodes from the Korean War the participant that survived really brought the message home about what his friend did to receive that medal posthumously.

To put it into perspective on just how select gaining the medal is over 40 million personell have served in the U.S Armed Services only 3,600 M.O.H have ever been awarded.
Its that rare! (Works out to 1 M.O.H recipient for every 11 million 111 thousand 111 hundred service personell.)

Often in the cases their legacy lives on assisting those veterans that come home handicapped or suffering P.T.S from what they had seen and been through.
Watch this series and it changes your whole outlook on the meaning of sacrifice....
