Good man. He did what all military helicopter pilots would like to think they would have done, but not many would.

I don't have numerical data to refute your comment, but I believe many Army helo pilots during that conflict performed acts of valor and heroism than were ever awarded medals. Friends of mine who were there say such valorous and selfless acts occurred on a daily basis.
