On today's episode, Dennis speaks with Inspirational Speaker, Performer and Purple Heart Recipient, J.P. Lane. J.P. joined the Army at the age of 20, In 2008. He joined the U.S. Army as a Combat Engineer and was deployed, in 2010, to Afghanistan to search for IED’s (Improvised Explosive Device). He was blown up 3 separate times, and the 3rd one got him causing severe injury that almost took his life. July 2nd, 2011, J.P. was blown up by a 200lb IED while on mission, it was the first IED to penetrate an RG31 truck. The blast resulted in putting J.P. in a coma for 6 weeks. He lost both my legs, his right arm snapped in half, he lost his four front teeth, his pelvis snapped in half, spine dislocated from his pelvis, and everything in his torso was destroyed by shrapnel except for his heart and left lung. In total, J.P. received 26 injuries, and had 28 surgeries, this completely changed his life. Doctors said he wasn’t going to be able to do many things, like, use prosthetics because his legs were so badly damaged. Today, J.P. gets deep into sharing his story starting from what inspired him to join the Army, the loss of his friend Justin while on mission and how that impacted his view on life, the day of his incident that led to his tragic injuries, his battle with recovery and his 12 suicide attempts, keeping faith when you're in the darkness, the book he wrote "Walking Again" and the support to handle life together.
