Ross McGinnis - Someone You Should Know Radio

Posted By Blackfive

Last night on Pundit Review, my Someone You Should Know segment was on Ross McGinnis:

A memorial service for US Army PFC Ross McGinnis was held today.  Tonight on Pundit Review Radio, Matthew Currier Burden from Blackfive honored Ross during this week’s Someone You Should Know.

McGinnis gave his life in an incredibly heroic, selfless way.  He has been nominated for the Medal of Honor, and his citation for his Silver Star read,

FOR GALLANTRY IN ACTION ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY WHILE SERVING AS AN M2 MACHINE GUNNER DURING OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM. ON 4 DECEMBER 2006, AN ENEMY HAND GRENADE WAS THROWN INTO HIS VEHICLE. PRIVATE FIRST CLASS MCGINNIS THREW HIMSELF ON THE HAND GRENADE, ABSORBING THE EXPLOSION WITH HIS BODY AND SAVING FOUR OF HIS COMRADES FROM SERIOUS INJURIES OR POSSIBLE DEATH. HIS ACTIONS REFLECT DISTINCT CREDIT ON H IM, THE MULTI-NATIONAL DIVISION-BAGHDAD, AND THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

His family has suggested for anybody who wishes to make a memorial donation to send something to a service member overseas, a veteran or local service member and present it as a gift from PFC Ross McGinnis. Gifts to his unit may be sent to:

SFC Cedric Thomas
1st Platoon, C/1-26 IN
Task Force Blue Spader
APO AE 09390-1537
