Yoinked from mylescorcoran 

"It's September 26th again and I'm remembering Stanislav Petrov, the Soviet Air Force lieutenant colonel who decided a missile attack registered by Soviet satellites on this day in 1983 was a false alarm and at risk to his career chose not to start a nuclear war.

Thank you Colonel Petrov."

Indeed. In my own minor tribute I named a ship in my Star Trek campaign after him.
