In a relief and appointment ceremony held May 7, 2013, at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Col. Willard Buhl, commanding officer of Wounded Warrior Regiment, left, passes the ceremonial sword to Sgt. Maj. Michael Mack, the regiment’s new sergeant major, as Sgt. Maj. Joseph VanFonda, outgoing sergeant major, center, looks on. Mack arrives from Recruiting Station Orange in Santa Ana, Calif., where he was the station sergeant major. VanFonda was presented with a meritorious service medal for his two years with the regiment, during which he established the unit’s standard policy for medical retirement and transition, as well as the first meritorious promotions program for wounded warriors, and also advocated for the Permanent and Expanded Limited Duty Board, which opened combat positions to Marines with amputations.
