Audie Murphy would belong there ;)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Woot? Missed that one.
The thread loaded in a very slow and odd way though. Took minutes.

My personal opinion there was one missing from the list, Gunnery Seargent Carlos Hathcock

link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Hathcock#Decorations

though of course I'm being biased in my choice because of the common grounds we share, AKA fellow Marines.

"In To Hell and Back, Audie Murphy plays Audie Murphy, a badass war hero who proves his worth on the battlefield with his awesome badassery. The movie was the highest-grossing film Universal made, a record it held for 20 years until the making of Jaws. That's right, they actually needed a movie about a giant, man-eating, shark to top Audie Murphy's awesomeness."

Funny and historically educational at the same time!

I  had said Hathcock was missing from that list myself on the first page, and I agree with you wholeheartedly here.  I've read everything I can get my hands on about him, he was truly a hero and a superbadass.  He and his spotter wiped out an entire company of NVA infantry once.  Just think about that for a second.
