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.

"No one with this kind of amputation had ever run before, not like Edward wanted to run. (AP Photo/The News Tribune, Peter Haley)
