Maxwell was a 24-year-old communication platoon lineman in 1944 when he dived onto the grenade, using an Army blanket as protection.
Rest in peace sir.

One of the Greatest Generation. He saved a lot of his peers from getting wounded.
He hailed from the City of Bend, Oregon. 2017 population = 94,520. I don't know what the karma is about that town, but over the years I have seen a large number of stories about Bend, Oregon. It pops up in the news occasionally for all kinds of things. Most towns of that size never get any ink.
Or should I say screen time.
