1. Kyle Carpenter
You know you’ve hit it big when you get your Medal of Honor at the age of 21. Kyle Carpenter did something so inspiring that no matter how many times you hear about it you just want to cry and hug him. In November of 2010, Kyle and his friend were sitting on the roof somewhere in Afghanistan when suddenly a hand grenade flew straight at them. Without a second of hesitation Kyle covered the grenade with his own body to save his friend. Such bravery must have scared off Death itself because he survived. He was however horribly mangled: lost his eye, broke his jaw into a million pieces, not to mention dozens of broken bones inside his body. He’s still kicking, and that’s the only thing that matters.
