1) Abe Lincoln.
2) The men of the 101st Airborne in WWII, who held their position in the woods of Bastogne during that brutal winter, with few supplies.
3) Anyone who kicks an angleshooter in the nuts.

Nice list, what about those who charged the beaches of Normandy?

Although storming a beach in the face of machine gun fire certainly takes courage, I think that hunkering down in a freezing foxhole day after day, without warm clothing or much food, while having to face random, terrifying artillary attacks takes much more fortitude.
