If you haven't seen them already, there are a bunch of 1st person accounts on YouTube from Medal of Honor winners from WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan on the actions that resulted in their being awarded the Medal of Honor. Their level of bravery is just astounding, as is the modesty of the recipients. I can only watch so many at one time as it is emotionally draining.
Just search under "medal of honor stories."
Here is one example of a Navy Seal's actions during Viet Nam
