Heroes

Both from New York.

Corporal Jason Dunham, posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, for jumping on a grenade in Iraq, to save the lives of his colleagues. He was 22 years old.

Wesley Autrey, who while in the subway with his 2 young daughters,  jumped onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train, and saved the life of a man who had suffered a seizure.
