Thompson Recognizes Army Private First Class Ross Andrew McGinnis

In 2006, Private Ross McGinnis gave up his life to save four others from a grenade blast inside a Humvee during Operation Iraqi Freedom. On June 2, 2008, McGinnis was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his courageous actions. "In a selfless act of bravery, in which he was mortally wounded, Private McGinnis covered the live grenade, pinning it between his body and the vehicle and absorbing most of the explosion," the official citation read, which was awarded by President George Bush.

In August, Little League International plans to enshrine the first ever Little League graduate known to have received our nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. That person is Army Private First Class Ross Andrew McGinnis, of Knox, Pennsylvania.
