Maxwell. On 7 September 1944\, then Technician 5th Grade Maxwell “by his calmness\, tenacity\, and fortitude\, inspired his fellows to continue the unequal struggle” before throwing himself on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers. In this interview\, Mr. Maxwell will discuss his experiences during World War II\, the actions for which he earned the award\, and what he has learned in the 72 years he has worn the Medal of Honor. \nThis edWebinar\, presented by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation\, is an inspiring learning opportunity for middle and high school students to connect directly with an American hero. Interviews with Medal of Honor Recipients are part of the Medal of Honor Character Development Program\, a free program that helps students build character and promotes responsible citizenship through a deeper understanding of stories of courage and sacrifice. Before viewing the recorded edWebinar\, we encourage teachers to review Maxwell’s story with their class. \nMedal of Honor Recipient Robert D. Maxwell Citation \nFor conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 7 September 1944\, near Besancon\, France. Technician 5th Grade Maxwell and three other soldiers\, armed only with .45-caliber automatic pistols\, defended the battalion observation post against an overwhelming onslaught by enemy infantrymen in approximately platoon strength\, supported by 20-mm flak and machine-gun fire\, who had infiltrated through the battalion’s forward companies and were attacking the observation post with machine-gun\, machine pistol\, and grenade fire at ranges as close as 10 yards. Despite a hail of fire from automatic weapons and grenade launchers\, Technician 5th Grade Maxwell aggressively fought off advancing enemy elements and\, by his calmness\, tenacity\, and fortitude\, inspired his fellows to continue the unequal struggle. When an enemy hand grenade was thrown in the midst of his squad\, Technician 5th Grade Maxwell unhesitatingly hurled himself squarely upon it\, using his blanket and his unprotected body to absorb the full force of the explosion. This act of instantaneous heroism permanently maimed Technican 5th Grade Maxwell\, but saved the lives of his comrades in arms and facilitated maintenance of vital military communications during the temporary withdrawal of the battalion’s forward headquarters. \n  \nHost and Interviewer \nCathy Ehlers Metcalf joined the Medal of Honor Character Development Program as Vice President of Education in 2015 after serving as a Regional Curriculum Trainer. Cathy taught college-level writing for over 33 years in Southern California. Cathy’s father was a World War II Medal of Honor Recipient.

Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.
