My Success!


Hello Everyone and Thank You for taking the time to visit my page. As I have said before, after seeing my face and body for the first time my fear was how the public would accept me. Having positive support from America has allowed me to deal with my scars. It has given me the opportunity to reach out and inspire the public.

A little over five years ago I was at a point where I was not expected to live, now five years later I am living life and have accomplished so much in this life of mine. I have spoken to over 300 groups across the country. Haven spoken to a wide range of audiences, including Tony Robbins seminars, national business conferences, Churches, veterans groups, civic groups, sporting events, schools and many other public and private organizations.

I've made hundreds of broadcast appearances, and have been interviewed by hundreds of print and online reporters about my war experiences and my personal road to recovery. I have has appeared on major networks ABC, MSNBC, CBS, FOX News, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Deborah Norville Show, Univision, Good Morning America and NBC, been featured in the Washington Post, New York Times, Associated Press, Yahoo and most recent People Magazine.

I will be able to accomplish my goals with your support so again THANK YOU for taking the time to visit my page. I look forward to your feedback.

Hi JR~

I just had to respond to your story and the inspiration you give to me and I'm sure many. Thank you for the service you have done for our country and the service you are still doing. I myself have wondered at times what God has planned for me and through many years I've come to accept that I'm a giver also and through your gifts and huge heart I see a great future in store for you. Oh yes, and as far as that "pretty boy" comment, you have surpassed that all the way to gorgeous. That smile is intoxicating...........embrace it!

Thank You,
Audrey

Hey, JR, you are all the things these people have said, and more. I wish I could have half your strength and courage. I watch All My Children, every day, and I am enjoying your story every time you're on. Taylor should do everything in her power to keep Brot- she would be so lucky to have him. And AMC should do anything to keep you, too. You are a treasure.
