Someone You Should Know: US Army PFC 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

My husband has been an army reservist for 30 years, and has been on active duty for the past 4 years. Thank you for the article about Ross McGinnis, a courageous young man. I cried the entire way home from work - where I was anticipating the arrival of my own 18 year old son from college for Christmas. Thank you Ross. God bless the McGinnis family. Dida

December 17th 2006;
WOLFEBORO, N.H. The war in Iraq is hitting home again in New Hampshire, with the death of another young soldier.
The family of 22-year-old Matthew Stanley from Wolfeboro got word this morning that he had been killed in Iraq.
Wolfeboro police said the Army notified the family this morning that Stanley had been killed by a roadside bomb.
In Iraq, the military was not releasing names, but said a roadside bomb killed three American soldiers and injured a fourth north of Baghdad yesterday. The soldiers were clearing a route so another unit could move through the area.

I went through basic training with McGinnis. He was such an outstanding funny guy. Day in and day out he made us all laugh, even the drill sgts. I’ll never forget the laughs in training, and I’ll never forget his final heroic act.

My family knew Ross before he entered the military. My son Nathan was a good friend that enjoyed bike jumping by Wolf Camping Resort. We only knew him for a short while, but when Nathan told us what he did, we will remember him forever. I cry every time I think of what he did.
