Medal of Honor winner MSGT Roy Benavidez
His MoH citation would make Chuck Norris pee his pants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Benavidez
This is a speech he gave in 1991 talking about his actions in Vietnam, its 25 minutes but well worth it

Nearly dead from a total of 37 separate bayonet, bullet and shrapnel wounds received on multiple occasions over the course of the six hour fight between the 13 men and an enemy battalion,[1] Benavidez was evacuated once again to Brooke Army Medical Center, where he eventually recovered. For his heroism, the Army awarded him the Distinguished Service Cross.
He was believed dead after finally being evacuated and was being zipped up in a body bag when he mustered the last of his strength and spit in the face of a medic, thereby alerting nearby medical personnel that he was still alive. (see medal citation below)

Broken back, shot with a howiter, then fought the NVA and then swam a river to rescue three injured americans, then came back to the firebase with the wounded and continued to fight till morning.
