Summary
| Description |
A single yellow rose adorned with the 1st Infantry Division patch lays as the base of Spc. Ross McGinnis' headstone in Arlington National Cemetery. McGinnis was killed Dec. 4, 2006, in Adhamiyah, Iraq, when an unidentified insurgent threw a fragmentation grenade into McGinnis' Humvee. Without hesitation or regard for his own life, McGinnis threw his back over the grenade, pinning it between his body and the Humvee's radio mount. McGinnis absorbed all lethal fragments and the concussive effects of the grenade with his own body. McGinnis' parents, Tom and Romayne, accepted the Medal of Honor on their son's behalf during a ceremony at the White House June 2, 2008. McGinnis was assigned to the 1st Infantry Division's 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team at the time of his death. The rose was placed at the grave site by 1st Infantry Division Soldiers during a recent visit to the nation's capital. Photo by Mollie Miller, 1st Infantry Division Public Affairs |
