Maggie Megellas - read his Wiki (if not his book).

Wikipedia

One of only a few guys to ever singlehandedly take out a Mark V Panzer tank. He did the kinds of things you see in action movies. His medals included 2 Purple Hearts, 2 Bronze Stars, 2 Silver Stars, the Distinguished Service Cross, and a nomination for the Medal of Honor. Seriously, you get goosebumps in this dude’s presence.


ETA: LINK to his book

His book is a great read because it is a very honest firsthand account.
