Combat veteran and TV celebrity JR Martinez host Medal of Honor podcast

This week we share our conversation with Army combat veteran, and Purple Heart recipient turned TV celebrity JR Martinez, about the inspiring podcast, “Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage”. We begin with a closer look JR’s life, who went from surviving an IED attack and severe burns, to winning “Dancing with The Stars” and a role on the daytime TV drama “All My Children”. He shared incredible moments from his personal recovery, including how an off-the-cuff comment he made to comfort his mother, eventually became reality as he went from the hospital to Hollywood, eventually starring in national television shows. Martinez also describes the true heroes covered in the podcast. Like tales of a soldier’s valor during WWI and the teacher who saved a student’s life. The Medal of Honor podcast, from the acclaimed producers at Pushkin, gives all listeners inspiration during these challenging times. Martinez also reminds us that while we hold Medal of Honor recipients in the highest regard, we all have what it takes to be a hero to others.
