| #2 Rick Rescorla was one of the mainstays of American resistance in the action pictured in the movie "We were soldiers". In fact his photo is on the cover of the book. He was security chief in a company whose offices were at World Trade Center. On 9/11 he successfully evacuated all staff but two and died when he returned to check no one had been left behind. He was a giant among men. |

| #1 Capt. Patrick M. Rapicault - France That is for the people who joke about cheese-eating-surrendering monkeys even in posts about NAoppeonic soldiers or French Naval aviators: Naval aviation is very dangerous and requires a LOT of courage even in peacetime. |
