Justin Ross was a local high school student, a son, and a brother who joined the Army Reserves in 2006, before he even graduated from Bay Port High School. Corporal Ross died serving our country in in Afghanistan in 2011, a story covered extensively by Action 2 News in the days and months that followed.

In this Get 2 the Point episode, we talked with Justin’s parents, Ron and Debbie Ross.  The Rosses tell us how Justin always loved playing cowboy as a little boy.  “He was always the sheriff,” says Ron.  As Justin grew up, he admired those in civil or military service.  “It really wasn’t a surprise when he came home from high school his junior year and started talking about the (Army) recruiter being there. He came home saying that’s what he was going to do.”
