What makes a hero? Just show up! Army vet, actor J.R. Martinez on season 2 of “Medal of Honor” podcast
Looking for something to lift your spirits? This episode is for you!
This week we discuss the podcast, “Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage” Season 2, with Host, Army combat veteran, Purple Heart recipient, actor and best selling-author J.R. Martinez.
Before we dove into the podcast, JR offered a closer look at his amazing life.
We heard how he went from surviving an IED explosion and severe burns, to winning “Dancing with The Stars” and a role on the daytime TV drama “All My Children”. With his great sense of humor, JR also shared hilarious moments, like how he’s frequently mistaken for the famous musician Seal.
We also examined the inspiring stories behind recipients of the Medal of Honor as told in the podcast. From stories of valor and truth from a WWI veteran to a teacher who saved a student’s life amidst a school shooting attempt, each story from the podcast will definitely lift your spirits.
We also examined what makes a hero, and how we can all do it … if we just “show up” for someone else.
