Thomas Payne is a Delta Force soldier who has freed over 70 hostages.

The civilians were captives of IS and were held in the town of Hawija in northern Iraq. When strong intel indicated that they would soon be executed, special forces attacked that same night.

First, they tried to blast their way through the wall, which alerted the enemy. After Payne made it inside, he took out resistance in the first building and freed 38 hostages.

He then ran through enemy gunfire to join his comrades, who were engaged in combat with entrenched terrorists. The building had begun to burn, yet Payne climbed to the roof and engaged the enemy from above.

Knowing that the hostages were running out of time, he headed for the main entrance. Regardless of the many enemies and blazing fire, he was the first man to storm the building. After freeing the hostages, Payne kept returning to the inferno to make sure that absolutely no one was left behind.

For this courageous actions he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
