These days it seems everyone is a hero. It's one of those grossly overused words. But there's no doubt about the three men you're about to meet. They are the bravest of the brave. Among our greatest heroes ever. The only three surviving Australian winners of the Victoria Cross. They're from three different generations and fought in three different wars but they have so much in common. They've shown extraordinary courage, earned our highest military honour, but they say they're just ordinary blokes just diggers doing their job, looking out for their mates. Nonetheless they are very special men, great Australians. For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes. #60MinutesAustralia
