He suffered severe burns on almost 40 percent of his body with his head and face being burned down to the skull. Henline was put into a medically induced coma and transported to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. He awakened after two weeks, and underwent six months of treatment. Currently, Henline has undergone 48 surgeries including multiple skin grafts and reconstructions.While hospitalized Henline would often use humor as a means of dealing with his extraordinary circumstances. As his treatment was ending, his occupational therapist suggested that he attend an open mic at the Comedy Store. In August 2009, Henline made his debut and from there he did open mics three times a week. He was contacted by a talent agency in L.A. which led him to a part in the Showtime documentary "Comedy Warriors: Healing Through Humor".

Henline and his wife Jamie started the charity organization Forging Forward, The Bobby Henline Foundation with the goal of helping military personnel and first-responders and their families deal with the injuries and traumas that can occur in that work.https://www.instagram.com/bobby_henlinehttps://www.facebook.com/BobbyHenlinehttps://bobbyhenlinecomedy.com#veteran #viral #podcast #military #paratrooper #usarmy #usa #short #shorts #viralvideos #britisharmy #parachuteregiment #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness
