United States Army (Fallen Hero) - 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.”

Their courage deems utmost respect
Their mission clear, our way protect
It’s sure to each what they must do
No give or take, keep freedom true
With the grand old flag, they’ll unite
Whenever they must, march to fight
A life we know counts hard on them
Without their ranks, hellish problem
If our Armed Forces ceased to be
How long could we survive as free
Let’s well realize the truthful score
We need our troops just like before
Boils down to this, words to engrave
Land of The Free, Due to The Brave
God Bless each one for being there
Their loved ones too, unending care
Hope born from love touches the will
Do back them strong, means to fulfill
Americans – Who Serve To Give
One Nation – Under God We Live
