He is also the most decorated American soldier for bravery. My dad bought me his book To Hell and Back when I was like 10 and I read that sucker until it feel apart. He was supposed to go to West Point after the war but his wounds prevented further military service. For quite some time afterward he was despondent and apparently struggled with what we know now as PTSD, so much so he slept with a .45 under his pillow.

The man is the epitome of Hero in my book.
