Lunch with Heroic Survivor of the War in Iraq and Champion of Dancing with the Stars, JR Martinez in LA – You May Learn a Few New Steps

Photo Credit: Micael Bensko

Bid now on a special lunch with war veteran, soap star and Dancing with the Stars champion, JR Martinez in Los Angeles.

Jose Rene “J.R.” Martinez grew up in Louisiana, Arkansas and Dalton, GA, the place he calls his hometown. After his high school graduation, J.R. joined the Army, and in March of 2003, Infantryman J.R. Martinez was deployed to Iraq. Less than a month into his deployment, he was driving a Humvee in Karbala, when his left front tire hit a landmine. J.R. suffered smoke inhalation and severe burns to more than 40 percent of his body. Martinez claims that while he was fighting for his life and awaiting medical help in Iraq, his sister Anabel, who passed away when J.R. was a child, appeared to him, giving him the strength to stay alive.

J.R. was evacuated to Germany and was eventually sent to Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio, Texas. J.R. spent 34 months in recovery at BAMC and underwent 33 surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic surgery.

During his recovery, a nurse asked him to speak to a burn patient who had just seen his body for the first time and had become withdrawn. After a 45-minute visit, the patient opened the curtain letting light in his room and his heart. J.R. understood the impact he had on this patient and decided to use his experience to help others.

Since then, J.R. has become a highly sought-after motivational speaker, traveling the country to spread his message of resilience and optimism. He has shared the stage with the likes of global self-help guru Tony Robbins and Evangelist Dave Roever.

In October 2008, J.R. stepped into another role, when he was cast as combat veteran Brot Monroe on ABC’ s Emmy® Award-winning daytime drama All My Children. In 2011, J.R. won America’s heart when he was featured on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, took home first place and the show’s coveted mirror ball trophy. His book Full of Heart: My Story of Survival, Strength, and Spirit will be published by Hyperion, November 2012

J.R. devotes himself to showing others the true value in making the most of every situation. "I wouldn’t change anything…absolutely anything!" J.R. says. "I do believe everything happens for a reason, and I'm extremely grateful for that day because it led me into this life!"

Bringing Home the Bacon - Meet The Bacon Brothers Backstage After the Concert of Your Choice

Bid now on 2 tickets to the Bacon Brothers concert of your choice plus the opportunity to meet them backstage.

See upcoming tour dates HERE

Kevin and Michael Bacon have been writing songs and playing music together since about the same time they may have been fighting over Lincoln Logs or little green Army guys. In fact, the cover of their first album, Forosoco, shows as much; the picture, taken in 1972, shows Kevin and Michael onstage playing congas and guitar, respectively. The look of communication between the two is telling: although the Bacon Brothers have only been a working band since 1995, they too, run decades deep.

The main attraction for the U.S. incarnation of Lollapalooza is Black Sabbath, who will play its only North American show of its upcoming reunion trek at the festival. The legendary rockers had announced last November that they planned to embark on a massive tour and record a new album in 2012, but were forced to reshuffle their reunion plans due to guitarist Tony Iommi's battle with lymphoma.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers will return with dozens of other highly anticipated artists to Lollapalooza less than four months after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a year after the release of their tenth studio album, "I'm With You."
