Twenty years ago National Park Ranger Robert McGhee was shot and killed in the line of duty at Gulf Islands National Seashore. Unbeknown to McGhee, he stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation that was occupied by two escaped convicts who shot and killed him.
On July 1 in Ocean Springs, Mississippi a road was named after Robert McGhee to commemorate his sacrifice to protect us all. For details you can check the links below.
