Vietnam?

WWII. He was a B-25 pilot shot down over Italy - name was Harold Moran.

He was awarded the flying cross posthumously. As the story went, the plane took flak and began to fall. Harold took the plane from an altitude of 80 feet to over 2000 feet enabling his crew to parachute out, then he went down along with one other crewman and went MIA.

So this is really what makes me think out of all the other things I have.

That is certainly a good point; the ratio of gore to glory is rather lopsided I'd say. There is an apt reason the British took to calling casualty results as "the Butcher's Bill".
