Honoring Fallen Medal of Honor Recipient Ross McGinnis

Ultimate Sacrifice
(Listen to Taps while reading the poem.)

country as flag

Rest well Ross McGinnis
with your fellow Medal of Honor heroes,
knowing that your ultimate sacrifice
above and beyond the call of duty
to protect your fellow soldiers
and out of love of the USA
exemplifies the best
of being an American...
and deserves your fellow citizens
unyielding gratitude, pride and respect.
