Wow. Sgt. Troy McGill truly was a one man wrecking crew. He had 105 dead enemy surrounding his own body in the aftermath of the battle? God bless you Sir. God bless all who served as the Greatest Generation and, God bless all who serve or have served to protect this great nation.
Reading his story made me cry - He was so brave and made such a difference. He didn't do it for his own glory but to carry out the mission he had been given. I believe that even if he had known it meant certain death he would have done it anyway. We owe many thanks to Sgt. McGill and all like him who defended our country until their last breath.
"Where would we be but for brave Americans such as these? How proud we can be that we get to call these heroes our own." You took the words right out of my mouth, Tara! Thanks for this wonderful reminder of yet another true hero.
"Where would we be but for brave Americans such as these? How proud we can be that we get to call these heroes our own." What a fitting conclusion to this moving, story of a true hero.
So sad McGill didn’t survive, but his sacrifice saved many lives and made a difference for other Americans fighting this war. So often these heroes fight single-handedly without regard to the risk they are taking. The sorrow of loss remains for the family. They are heroes too.
If not for the men and women who fought so courageously in WWII we in America and most of Europe would all be speaking German or Japanese. Praise God that we had such brave hero’s as McGill that kept our Nation free.
Just like I dreamed when I played Army as a kid in the 1950s. I would go down fighting for my men and country! He put my 27 years of Navy service to shame!

Wow! Your telling of his story is inspiring! It once again reminds me of the courage of “regular” folks.
Thank you Sgt McGill. Your actions prove that your bravery has a direct impact on the success of those who followed after you.

During our remembrance of the Alamo, for a Tennessee soldier to go down swinging his weapon is perfect! 105 kills on the way out? Wow!
105 to 1, that summs up the determination of the greatest generation pretty good!
WOW. I find myself grateful men like Troy McGill were in place to protect freedom and the airfield. Thanks Tara for the uncommon valor lesson.
Thank you Tara for bringing this American hero to us this morning.
Unbelievable bravery!!! What an incredible man to make such a stand knowing he would die!!
RIP Thank you, Tara.
