Leadership In The Admiralty Islands

Honor & Remember Try McGill, Medal of Honor

Sergeant Troy McGill stood alone against a relentless Japanese assault at Los Negros in the Admiralty Islands, holding the line to protect a critical airstrip. With his squad devastated—wounded or killed—he ordered the last unwounded soldier to fall back to safety. Then, with unwavering courage, he fought on through the night. By morning, 105 enemy soldiers lay dead around his position.

A true American hero, McGill was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary sacrifice.

Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, he was just 29 years old. Honor him. Remember him. Never forget his bravery!
