I think real hero's are measured by their acts not their medals for one so screw those congresional medals of honour they don't mean dick
the fire fighters from NYC come close but I think the most heroic men were the thousands of soldiers that took part in operation overlord or any other militairy operation to free europe or another part of the world during the second world war, tho some of the americans are the nicest example they didnt fight purely for themselves they died to safe and liberate the asses of millions of my country men
idd but we should just add some more rules okie
it must be the most heroic men we have HEARD off, not the most heroic men who have ever lived
and mah noone said it had to be physical danger
I still go for the soldiers of overlord or maybe the russians who liberated stalingrad tho I think that was a bit more under force
