William Kyle Carpenter. You might know his name, you might not, but you can never dispute the fact he is a certified American hero.

During a firefight, a grenade landed near where Kyle and another Marine were fighting. Without thinking twice, Kyle leapt into action …

He offered up his life in sacrifice so that his fellow Marine might be spared.
