JR Martinez is on Dancing with the Stars. I don't watch Dancing with the Stars but I did watch All My Children (until ABC Grrrr! cancelled it) and JR Martinez was on All My Children. Evidently the stars did a dance interpretation of their most memorable year last night and his brought the house down. Once again I don't watch that show but I read the article about him dancing last night on the Daily Mail , which I read every day (they have good pictures.)
So I wanted to know more about him, hence I looked him up on lunch break today and found his website and a documentary he is a part of. His website is www.KnowJR.com and below is the trailer for that documentary.
His story is fascinating and he tells his story all around the country to lots of folks. Now I will say that his first appearance on All My Children stunned me but immediately I thought Oh he must be an Iraq veteran. In fact, he is. And I'm so used to his appearance now and his subsequent surgeries have made him a handsome man. I went straight to the Wounded Warrior Project and donated.
After watching the trailer for this documentary and reading his story, once again it makes you look outside your everyday drudgery and say, Hey, my COPD and my arthritis aren't so bad, girl. Buck up.
Thank you for your service JR and all veterans.
