Edward Lychik talks to fifth and sixth graders at Maplewood Elementary School in Puyallup, Wash., on April 9, 2014. The combat veteran's left leg had been amputated at the hip socket, and doctors had told him if he walked again, it would be on crutches. Lychik ignored that diagnosis and kept talking to his physical therapist, Alicia White. &quot;The seventh time he said he wanted to run, I went in to see our prosthetist and said, 'We've got a problem,&quot; White said. &quot;No one with this kind of amputation had ever run before, not like Edward wanted to run.

This undated image provided by the US Army shows new Army grooming regulations for females. New Army regulations meant to help standardized and professionalize soldiers&#8217; appearance is now coming under criticism by some black military women, who say changes in the requirement for their hair are racially biased. The Army earlier this week issued new appearance standards, which included bans on most twists, dreadlocks and large cornrows, all styles used predominantly by African-American women with natural hairstyles. More than 11,000 people have signed a White House petition asking President Barack Obama, the commander-in-chief, to have the military review the regulations to allow for &#8220;neat and maintained natural hairstyles.&#8221; (AP Photo/US Army)
