Justin “JP” Lane - U.S. Army Purple Heart Recipient

Justin “JP” Lane joined the U.S. Army in 2008 at the age of 20 years old. Like most young men watching the Twin Towers fall in 2001, JP knew he wanted to join the military when he was old enough to do so. As a combat engineer, he was deployed to Afghanistan as a Specialist with the 428th Engineer Company in October 2010 to search for IED’s. (Improvised Explosive Device) On July 2nd, 2011, his RG31 truck was penetrated by a 200lb IED while on a mission. He was in a coma for 6 weeks, having 26 injuries and 28 surgeries – changing his life forever.

He has proven them wrong.<br /><br />Get Justin's book "Walking Again": <a href="http://jpsjourney.com/online-store/" rel="noopener">http://jpsjourney.com/online-store/</a><br /><br />For more interviews visit <a href="https://www.iamrefocusedradio.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.iamrefocusedradio.com/</a><br /><br />Sponsors:<br /><br />Rockafellas Barber Shop San Antonio<br /><br />Rico Rodriguez (Owner)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Rockafellas-Barber-Shop-105026620034718/?ref=page_internal" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/Rockafellas-Barber-Shop-105026620034718/?ref=page_internal</a><br /><br />1733 Babcock<br />San Antonio, Texas 78229<br /><br />Phone: (210) 782-5188<br /><br /><br />The Dear Agency specializes in helping you understand your coverage BEFORE you need it!<br />We offer all lines of personal and commercial insurance, including Auto, Home and Life.<br /><br />Contact Dawn Dear at 210-507-2169 and visit us at 7529 N Loop 1604 in Live Oak, TX or farmersagent.com/ddear<br /><br />Supporters:<br /><br />Sanctuary of Hope<br /><br />A Place of Refuge<br />Sanctuary of Hope provides a caring and nurturing environment to single expectant mothers ages 12-22 and their children.<br /><br />Every Life Counts<br />Pregnant and not sure what to do?
