John Wayne Walding was born in Texas on the 4th of July and is about as patriotic a person as you will find. He grew hunting with his grandfather and the patience, fortitude and other skills he learned through hunting would eventually save his life in a faraway land.
Months before 9/11, John Wayne made the decision to serve his country by joining the military. He was in basic training when the towers feel on the September day.
With his name being John Wayne, you have to know he got more than his share of grief as he became a Green Beret. The hazing came to a quick halt when the bullets started flying in the Shok Valley of Afghanistan. In that desolate valley, 75 of his friendlies held off over 200 heavily armed enemy combatants for nearly seven hours in an ambush they resulted in eight Purple Heart injuries. The complete story of the battle is told in the book, “No Way Out”.
John Wayne was hit and barely survived. One leg was nearly severed, and he had to tie it to his torso and then climb off the mountainside he and his team were pinned down on.
Today, thanks to an incredible medic in the field, excellent medical after his evacuation and high-tech prosthetics, he is physical marvel. He went back and trained to become a Special Ops sniper, the first amputee to do so. Today,
He hunts in some of the most rugged terrain and loves the challenge. He also gives back through his business and charitable work. You won’t want to miss this inspiring talk with a true American hero.
