hello sunshine I'm KY this is CNN 10 and
I want to start with a shout out to the
teachers out there all of you who are
informing and inspiring us let's reach
out to one of our teachers our mentors
today give a handshake or high five let
them know we appreciate them it is
Tuesday March 25th recognized as
National Medal of Honor day here in the
United States it's a day that was
established by Congress to recognize
Medal of Honor recipients and that's
where we begin as the national Medal of
Honor Museum in Arlington Texas opens to
the public today in the US the Medal of
Honor is the highest Military Award for
Valor and the museum will honor more
than 3500 recipients of the award since
the Medal of Honor was first authorized
in the Civil War era the medal has been
awarded to US service members who show
bravery and boldness to go above and
beyond the Call of Duty at the risk of
their own lives there are three types of
medals awarded depending on the branch
of the military the Navy was the first
branch of the military to award the
medal in
1861 followed by the Army a year later
the Air Force's Medal of Honor was
instituted in
1965 the museum is now home to more than
50 Medals of Honor including the first
one ever presented during the Civil War
it also has a large collection of
artifacts like dog tags flags and the
uniforms of recip recipients visitors
will also be able to interact with a
number of exhibits including an
interactive theater using AI technology
that allows visitors to virtually talk
to metal recipients R Jake Tapper got an
early look at the Museum and meets some
of the heroes who are sharing their
stories of bravery and service with
us steps from Sports icons Rises the new
home for a different kind of hero I hope
when people um walk through the space I
say oh my gosh how did they do this the
national Medal of Honor Museum opening
March 25th in Arlington Texas honors
recipients of the highest Military Award
for Valor in the United States I'm a 5'9
guy from Iowa there's nothing special
about me Sal Juna hardly Blends in with
tourists getting an early look at the
exhibit nor should he Juna is a war hero
among more than 3,500 metal recipients
whose Brave and sacrifice is now
enshrined here I remember looking out
and there was hundreds if not thousands
of orange glowing bullets coming in in
2007 juna's platoon with the 173rd
Airborne Brigade was ambushed in
Afghanistan I just ran into the Ambush
to fight next to my buddy uh so he
didn't fight alone he wouldn't let me
fight alone his friend Sergeant Joshua
Brennan had been hit and was being
dragged Away by the enemy the world was
was blowing up around us and all I could
think of is why are these guys running
that way with him I ran closer and
realized it was two enemy carrying
Sergeant Brennan I eliminated the threat
and I grabbed my buddy and just took off
running back the direction I came
Brennan ultimately would not survive but
the actions Juna took at Great risk to
his own life ensured that his buddy came
home your courage prevented the capture
of an American Soldier and brought that
Soldier back to his family in 2010 Juna
was the first living Medal of Honor
recipient since the Vietnam
War actions like his and thousands more
weave a tapestry of heroism displayed
publicly for the very first time since
the Medal of Honor was first authorized
in
1861 during the Civil War this Museum
allows me to talk about my my buddies
because none of this was me it was
always us you were awarded the Medal of
Honor um for hugging a suicide bomber
over the years Medal of Honor recipients
have been on the lead sharing their
stories such as Flo groberg who's
featured in the museum I had the most
direct path towards the the suicide
bomber and I just did my job Tai has
spoken openly Ty Carter told us of the
post-traumatic stress that lives on
years after his sacrifices I didn't
believe it was real until I experienced
it I thought it was just an excuse told
him I'm
sorry and Clint Ro om movingly shared
his regrets that he could not save even
more of his battle buddies returning
years later to say he channeled that
emotion into helping others and that's
where i' I've really started to try and
focus what are we going to do tomorrow
to make stuff better their strength is
represented in the Medal of Honor
Museum's design 31,000 Square ft of
exhibit space hoisted into the air by
just five pillars each representing a
branch of the US military I think it's
just a great symb IC Vision that we need
each other Charlotte Jones not only
chairs the museum she is from that Jones
family also an executive with the Dallas
Cowboys these Great American heroes are
the ones who inspires our guys and so
it's it's our job to tell those stories
and to share it with more I think we've
never seen a more divided country than
we have today and to be able to bring
our country together to remind everybody
that we actually have the same values
the museum is interactive visitors can
virtually handle a metal or fly on a
Vietnam war helicopter mission making
heroism and sacrifice of the past an
inspiration for the future it's not an
Infantry Museum or an Army museum or a
Navy Museum this place says if you put
your mind towards service of people of
care and compassion not camouflaging
guns you can accomplish
anything t second trivia what region of
the brain processes and regulates
emotions behavior and motivation
cerebellum lyic system brain stem or
central nervous
system answer is limic system a group of
structures located deep within the brain
that play a crucial role in emotional
processing motivation and Behavior now
to a project that's using artificial
intelligence algorithms and facial
recognition on pigs scientists from two
universities in the UK have developed
technology to recognize the emotions of
the highly intelligent and emotional
animals that the human eye doesn't see
they hope that by pinpointing stressed
pigs they can improve their overall
well-being CNN's Allison chinch Char
shows us how the project could help
farmers more quickly detect health
issues in pigs and
more animals have emotions just like
humans but are they as simple to detect
AI may be able to answer that question
with trained technology the University
of West England Bristol and Scotland's
rural College developed the Intel Pig A
system that will work to translate a
pig's emotions into a form humans can
understand and alert Farmers if an
animal needs immediate
attention it starts with placing a
camera inside an automated feeder when
pigs get hungry the system gets to work
the camera image would be processed by
an AI algorithm which would recognize
the individual so in order to do that we
first have to train it so we have to
show it examples of that individual over
a number of days um with different pose
and different lightings as the system
learns to identify the different
features of each animal it will store
that information for future use once the
system recognizes that specific pig as
it walks up to the feeder and puts its
head down to eat experts hope AI will be
able to capture their different emotions
and their well-being there must be
features there that we pick up on even
if they're subconscious in some way
there's something about the way the
animal looks that we pick up on and then
tells us you know whether it's in a good
or a bad State emotionally Professor
Smith says the research they've seen on
pigs so far has been more focused on the
negative emotions but with this
technology they want to change that and
show the positives too I think that's
really exciting the idea that a that a
machine can tell the emotional state of
an animal perhaps in a way that we can't
I think could be really interesting they
hope to complete the project by
September

2026 today's story getting a 10 out of
10 is a mysterious ocean encounter that
had scientists scratching their heads
scientists off the New Zealand's
northern coast were stumped when they
spotted an orange blob on the back of a
mako shark back in 2023 well mystery
solved turns out it's an octopus
hitching a ride a shark now eight armed
and dangerous the newly released video
of the so-called sharkus went viral has
people giggling like 10 tickles
octopuses are usually loners on the
ocean floor makos sharks usually stick
to the surface so scientists are like
you've got to be squiding me they say
the rare sighting is one of the
strangest things they've ever seen all
right today's shout out is going to pil
on Middle School in Pilon Nebraska we
see you Titans thank you for making us
part of your day remember that we will
be choosing one of your vocabulary words
for hashy word Wednesday tomorrow so
follow me at kwire on the socials put
your unique vocabulary word and
definition in the comment section of my
most recent post along with some info
for a shout out we'll choose one
illustrious winner to work into
tomorrow's show go make it an awesome
day everyone I'll see you right back
here tomorrow on CNN 10
