» McGinnis was in the gunner's hatch of a Humvee on Dec. 4, 2006, on a patrol in Iraq, when a grenade sailed past him and into the vehicle where the four other soldiers sat. He shouted a warning, then jumped on the grenade while it was lodged near the vehicle's radio.
"By that split-second decision, Private McGinnis lost his own life, and he saved his comrades," Bush said.
What an incredibly brave and selfless action.
