When I was a wee youngster my grandfather gave me a book with all (to that time) the MOH citations and personal histories of the folks who had received the citation. All of them were for gallantry "above and beyond the call of duty" - yet I can't recall a single one who considered what they did anything special, let alone above and beyond. That seems to hold true for those who received the MOH in the years since that book was published.
I think the point I'm trying to make is that these folk had a sense of duty that was greater than the rest of us. Of those that lived to receive the citation and thus could comment about it, it seems their attitude was "it needed doing and I was the closest one" rather than claiming any special bravery or courage. It's a darned high bar they set for the rest of us.
stay safe.
