My heroes are Thích Quảng Đức and "Tank Man".
For those that do not know who these men are off the top of your heads (you probably do)...
Thích Quảng Đức (pronounced like "thit kwan diuk") was the Buddhist monk who boldly burned himself to death in protest of the persecution of Buddhists in Vietnam (1963). He can be seen in several famous photographs, and featured in honor on the cover of Rage Against the Machine's first eponymous album. He was re-cremated, yet his heart did not burn and remains as a holy relic at the Xa Loi Pagoda.
"Tank Man" is the nickname given to the infamous rebel who stood against the tanks in Tiananmen Square, China (1989). Photographs and videos were taken, which can be found on the internet. The man's name is unknown, as is his fate. Many believe he is still alive, while some claim he was "disposed of" by the Chinese government. I believe he is still alive.
