Army medal recipient (4)

I believe the answer is:

hero

(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Principal character in a film or novel" , "Exceptionally brave person" , "One much admired for courage" , "Man admired for outstanding bravery" , "Leading male role" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
