The black hawk down story is an incredible read.
Here is a very in depth review of it done by the Philly Inquirer.

If anyone doesn't know what a hero is, well here is a story of 2 heroes.
Mike Durant's copter was the 2nd one to go down.
The only available rescue team had already roped down to the 1st crash site, leaving no one to protect Durant's crash site.
There where two Delta team snipers providing over-watch strapped to outside benches mounted on a little M-6 helicopter. They requested and were given permission to go in to try and defend Durant's downed helicoper until a rescue team could arrive. 2 men armed with only sniper rifles go in to defend Durant and his crew agaisnt a 100+ mob. Both men died defending the helicopter crew.
