By Katie Lange: Medal of Honor Monday: Army Cpl. Robert Maxwell
For today’s Medal of Honor Monday, we’re honoring a brave recipient who passed away recently — 75 years after he jumped on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers in World War II.

Army Technician 5th Grade Robert Maxwell was born on Oct. 26, 1920, in Boise, Idaho, but he grew up with his grandparents in Kansas. He eventually moved to Colorado, where he became a timber ranch worker. From there, he was drafted into the Army in June 1942.

By Jared Keller: We salute the hero Marine vet who punched a shark in the face to save his daughter’s life
A gruesome shark attack on a North Carolina teenager on Sunday could have turned fatal had it not been for the furious fists of her Marine vet father.

Seventeen-year-old Paige Winter had a leg and several fingers amputated following a shark attack at a Fort Macon beach, saved from likely death by a series of blows from her father Charlie, according to a Sunday Facebook post by her grandmother Jane.

“Thank God our son was with her,” she wrote. “He said he punched the shark in the face 5 times before it let go.”

Military.com | By Richard Sisk: VA Secretary Confident June 6 Rollout of Private-Care Options Will Be Smooth
Veterans can expect some glitches in the June 6 rollout of the new community care system but, for most who are eligible, getting an appointment with a private doctor should come down to “punching a button,” according to Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie.

There will be “a few hiccups,” but “I’m confident our team is ready across the country” for the long-awaited implementation of the VA Mission Act, said Wilkie, who has billed the new system as the most transformative veterans care initiative in a generation.
 
 
 
 
The Associated Press: Military Seeks Further Restrictions of Airspace near Clear Air Force Station

Military.com | By Gina Harkins: Top Marine Makes Plea to End Suicide, Says ‘Zero Shame’ in Admitting Problem
“Let me be clear up front, there is zero shame in admitting one’s struggles in life — trauma, shame, guilt or uncertainty about the future — and asking for help,” he said in a two-page letter about mental illness addressed to Marines, sailors and their families.

Neller accompanied the letter with a raw video posted to social media in which he tells Marines that life is tough, just as being a Marine is tough. “Nobody said this was going to be easy, but you can deal with this. It has to be dealt with.”

“We are all ‘broken’ in our own way — and we all need help at times,” Neller said. “It is critical we understand and respect that.”

Marines are in a fight to save their fellow comrades, and they must approach that fight with the same intensity they apply to other battles, he added.

“We can never stand by and do nothing,” the commandant wrote.
