www.Army.mil - U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Ian Newland was one of the four Soldiers saved when Pfc. Ross McGinnis threw himself on a grenade during an insurgent attack in Adamiyah, Iraq. Now McGinnis will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in a White House ceremony on June 2, 2008, two weeks shy of what would have been his 21st birthday.

  • @jayrellz We risk our lives in order to that our kids are safe. My fellow soldiers with children act selflessly and sacrifice so much so all in this country so you can have a better life. I wouldn't want someone who didn't want to fight as my battle buddy. It does seem unfair that great men die in war, but it's because of the sacrifices of those men that keep their comrades fighting. You just can't teach honor and respect. Happy Veteran's Day everyone and god bless.

  • SSg. Newland bared his soul to talk about his injuries, his late brother-in-arms, and how precious life is to him, and it sickens me how people presume to judge him and the sacrifice made for him (and for all of us by our troops) as worthless.

    Sometimes one can make a powerful difference and assist in the healing of wounded veterans by following the old adage, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
