Born in Excelsior Springs and lived in Richmond during my youth. I don't know if we were related, but you are, and always will be, my brother.

I recently watched “The Highwaymen” which is the story of the hunt for and the eventual justice brought to Bonnie and Clyde. This film, in my humble opinion, unlike the previous movies, acknowledges and shows respect for the Law Enforcement Officers who lost their lives to these animals and does not show them to be any kind of folk hero. It was long overdue.

Though the name of each and every Officer is not mentioned, some are and I believe the sacrifice by all is honored.

God Bless you Detective McGinnis, and may your eternal rest remain ever peaceful, Brother.

It is so sad that the Bonnie and Clyde Gang are so well known. As a society we glorify the criminals and either ignore Hero’s like you or make the Hero’s appear like the criminals. It is very sad that the names of Bonnie and Clyde are known even to our children, when it is your name Detective Harry McGinnis that should be known. You are a hero and a man to be looked up to. May you rest in peace and thank you and your family for the ultimate sacrifice. WE are a better people today because you walked among us yesterday. God Bless

Harry McGinnis, thank you for your ultimate service to others.
Your sister, my great grandmother, Mary Myrtle McGinnis Sullivan, often told us stories of your goodness and bravery, and then would finish with,"God bless you Harry."
I too, more than 60 years later would like to say, God bless you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 79th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. It is sad that our film industry made Bonnie and Clyde folk heroes instead of the murderous criminals they were and omitted any true picture of the heroic man you were.

Rest In Peace.

It has been said that Hollywood has made Bonnie and Claude living room hero's. The real hero's are the men and women who are in the front line of defense fighting crime. Detective Harry McGinnis you are not forgotten. God bless you and the other falling police officers slain by the under world. May you rest in Peace.
