Forrest Gump is famous for several reasons in the movie:
* He won the Congressional Medal of Honor - Vietnam
* He won the Purple Heart - Vietnam
* He ran (literally) across the U.S. and back which made headlines
* His Shrimp Boat business, after the hurricane, made them (Forrest and Captain Dan) a lot of money especially when their boat was the only surviving one
* Dan invested in stocks (computer) which made them millions which furthered their Shrimping business as well
