They did a great job (not just the movie). They both received the Congressional Medal of Honor. The reason is they did not have to go in and put themselves in harms way. They volunteered.
To paraphrase: Uncommon valor is common, when you are egaged in a firefight. Love of country, mom and apple pie has nothing to do with it. Love of your comrades and a sense of duty does.
