A Hero's Sacrifice
When an American decides to die it is for a far nobler reason than Jihad.
From CENTCOM:
American Hero:
Private First Class Ross A. McGinnis
June 14, 1987 - December 6, 2006
Rest In Peace
“Anytime when you get a Soldier to do something like that - to give his life to protect his fellow Soldiers - that’s what heroes are made of. It also demonstrates that the ‘MySpace Generation’ has what it takes to carry on the Army’s proud traditions.
“Some think Soldiers who come in today are all about themselves,” Johnson said. “I see it differently.”-- Command Sgt. Maj. William Johnson
Some sacrifices have a worth that is apparent and is honorable...others have neither.
An Iraqi grieves over the bodies of his dead relatives following two synchronized explosions that occurred in Iraq's capital. Suspected insurgents set off two bombs in a main square of central Baghdad where scores of Iraqis were waiting for jobs as day laborers, killing at least 59 people and wounding 153, police said.
Thank God for men and women like ours.
