Lieutenant Col. Eric Reid (left), commanding officer of 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, shakes the hand of Lance Cpl. Maxwell Navarra (right), a squad leader with the unit, after awarding him a Purple Heart Medal during a ceremony held at the base theatre aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., May 6, 2015. Navarra, who was on a patrol on July 23, 2014 in Helmand Province, Afghanistan when his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device, said that he enjoyed his time in Afghanistan while serving alongside his brothers, and expressed his appreciation for receiving the award. “It means a lot. It’s definitely a really big honor,” said Navarra. “It’s not something you really ask for, it’s just something that’s kind of given to you and I’m really grateful that I received it.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
