You do NOT want to miss Jay’s inspirational interview tonight on The Jay Young Show at 7:00 pm CT with John Wayne Walding, Sergeant First Class Officer, United States #Army Veteran, Military Hero, CEO and Speaker. His motto is "Lean Forward...Fight Hard"

John Wayne spent nearly 12 years in the United States Army, including seven years in the prestigious 3rd Special Forces Group at Ft. Bragg, NC, 28326. He has combat deployments to both #Iraq and #Afghanistan.

During his career at 3rd SFG he served on ODA 396/3336 as a Special Forces Communications Sergeant, and at the Sniper Detachment as a Sniper Instructor.

On April 6, 2008, John lost his right leg to sniper fire during the Battle of Shok Valley. He continued to fight alongside his brothers for four more hours earning him the Silver Star and Purple Heart.

The incredible story of that six-hour fight is detailed in the book "No Way Out: A Story of Valor in the Mountains of Afghanistan" by Mitch Weiss and Kevin Maurer and He is the first amputee ever to become a Green Beret Sniper from the Special Forces Sniper School.

But he doesn't stop there! Using a hand crank he went on to compete in the 2009 #BostonMarathon, in which he finished 4th, as well as being a top 10 finisher in the 2010 #NewYork Marathon. He ran the 2010 Army 10 Miler, the 2016 #DallasHalfMarathon and recently completed one of the hardest marathon routs in the world, the Bataan Death March with a 45lbs ruck sack.

John Wayne LIVES his motto!!!!
