free while the cause is thelive same. >> everyone has a different reason for serving free.e ca. maybe they're following in their father's footsteps, orserv they felt a calling after terrorists tore down the twin towersa call. for me, it was a patriotictr parade or a series oiotif them f a small town memorial day and the 4th of july parades in a tiny farm town in southern minnesota where my parents grewm up. the whole town linedinnesota wh on the side of the tree lined main street, waiting for the veterans u to walk by. and when they came, older vets u and younger vets, the crowd clapped and salutes,d. the reverence that town had for the veterans made me say, wow, those men really did something special, somethingme did biggern this town, something bigger than themselves. >> these men were willing to put on a uniform and facet fo danger for me. a kid they never met. it was just a handful of

veterans from one town. but rans from one town. gave men like that. >> out of sheer patriotism. and when you add up all of those small towns, it gives you a glimpse oftown the sheerr weight of the cost of freedom. i for generations, families filled with faith and love for their countrli d y sent their on to battle in trenches, beachesd ,jungles and deserts. and not everyone made it back. >> in guantanamo bay, cuba, ind wasuantanamo bay, cuba, george oliveira, who was a real salt of the earth guy. of tt, committed and really hard working. back home, hd reallye was a pole officer. service was in his blood. >> we both later deployed to afghanistan. we were in different units his e that point and we were in different parts of the country. and that'sre and when i got word that bee george had been killed in combat. >>n killed it hit me like a ton. bricks. it's a feeling almost everyone who served feeli knows.

>> you realize how fragile life really is.w fr just one bullet, one ied,e one rpg can change everything. none of us knew preciselyy what what we were signing up for when we raised our rightwere si. sure, we saw the movies rere, we saw the movies you don't really understand it until you were there. yog away from your family, away from your country foraway months, even years, your lifeeas can go from sheer boredom in ses seconds to fear and danger. brh you form of brotherhood with americans from all walks of lifh e because you have the same goal. you all feel america is worth yu the fight and you'll put your life on the line to defend. it. >> but heroes, walk with us not ut heroes, walk with us not just veterans, police officers who run veteran headloo danger. firefighters who rush into fig buildings, doctors,nto nurses and paramedics who work

around the clock to save lives. parents who teach the next generation to love our country a and pastors who lead their flocks and keep the faith. >> those are america's heroes. l later in this show, i'll be talking to two peoplepl who personally make me proud to be an american.e sa i wouldn't be the same person without them. buwithout themt first, some of o here at fox are going to talkk to their heroetos. . joey jones talked to two veterans from his new book, unbroken bonds of battlew book. >> there are so many men and women who make me proud to be bt an american. but today, i have the honor of hono to two inspiringtoonor of veterans that i get to call my friends and brothers. nate boyer lives by a motto. anything is possible.ar he joined the army in 2005.my then just a year later, he earned his green beret and served in the special forcesd servede spec. once he left the army at the ripe old age of 29, heenrold

enrolled at the university of texas and decided he was goingea to play college football without ever playing it down in his life. but nothing could stop him. fe.he even earned a spotn on the seattle seahawks without being drafte sd. y he and most recently, he startedste a nonprofit joinind g retiredthe professional athletes an to learn fromletes an merging vets and players. he also wrote and starreayers.de a feature film by the same name. and then there's aaron hil l. then there's aaron hil we went to eod school together, or banting school after caree a successful career as a navy chef. he na wanted to be closer to theind front lines and joined the army to take bomb ttos apart. then he was severely injured in afghanistan when an improvised explosive device detonated in his presencesed . but his injuries haven't slowed him down. n he's about to run 135 miles across death valley. it's the hardest foot race in

the world. he will be the first 100% blind and deaf person to ever complete iersot. nate and aaron join me now. gentlemen, thank you so much for being here. we just pulled. hereus just we just did our mov, our book together called unbroken bonds of battle. you guys are two of the most important chapters in the book. i say that knowing apters all ten are important, but you two inspire me so muchyou tw. aaron, i want to go to you m first. tell me aboue about this 135 mie race and why you want to do it . the bad water 135 starts at death valley and it goes 135mile miles to the mt. whitney portal ,just the trailhead to the tallest point. heaand the contiguous 48. and it's a 48 hours, more ororer less of. >> so some hot temperaturesre and, you know, some altitude we.

change as well. so it's be grueling, but it'sa o for a good cause. and i like cau a challenge. >> you know, you lost your sight. a lot of people don't understand. ch erstand. t losyourt your hearing after the injury, but due to complications with the injuryfterth, what does that dor running it or even going up in altitude? >>r when i lost my hearing, noe only did i lose the ability to communicate because all of my visual accessibility aids were were muted, were renderedme inoperable. i also lost my inner ear since balance. so just getting on the treadmill was dangerous enough, but i took a long time,u to recover, so my balance and start running again wasg amazing. thin nate, i don't think you're going to run 135 miles,yo but i know you do a trip to africa almost every yeador. e

some someone a mountain to raise money for people to. aise money for people yeah, and the stuff that you do, even here in the states with professional athletes sta and service members. why do you keep wanting to give ? >> because of people like erin. honestly. and people like you, joe, key, first of all, i feel very soft. i'm doing 100 miles in augustst and i thought that was cool. but this is unbelievable. g this well, hearing this about erin, i mean, that's just it speaks to the resilience of so many of our men and women. you two are great examples of thatar. and yeah, we became people of uo service. you know, when we put that uniform on, we took that oath for the restrm of our lives.f that's a part of us, you know, and big reason why i joined the military was to fight for those that can't fight for themselves. and even when i leftose i lo the military and i lost that uniform, i still needed to do that to feelt uniforstil connect person. you know what i mean? to that soldie, you r? so, you know, every year an organization called waterboy started by chris long, we would

climb kilimanjaro and raise money for clean water wells for people in africa. so it's like we have this incredible challenge, push ourselves to the limit. chalt also where we're serving v those that just don't have what we do have here in t the united states, which is, you know, access to clean water and so many other thingsean an t we're very fortunate to have. have acces fortunate to have. something we have here in the states, access to clean to cater, e. w ess to clean how amazing is this country and why on this independence day is it so thian important to remain patriotic? >> it's pretty easy to be grateful for what we've got here. we have a strong communitye , you know, strong moral values and we've got these defenders like you guys that protect our nation. i'm extremely grateful, y america. and there are plenty of us around. ari know i've gotten so much support since my injury, and i'm looking forward to celebrating a pretty warmm fo

4th of july.f >> nate, what's your message on this 4th of july? well, you know, i mean, you mentioned it in the intro, you know, with mvp emerging vets and players. and that's something that's it's very important for all of us vets and athletes within the organization to be there for one another, to always have each other's back.each right. and i think it's an important message foers' andr not justouny the country, but the world. i mean, of course, we're nothe w perfect. i of course, we're always i think most of us are striving to b e better and do better, but we doo grater and do better, but we doo the opportunity to have thoserse freedoms, to express ourselves any way we want to express ourselves s. e that and it's not like that everywhere. so i think having a good time, is important, you know, enjoying the day. ou'r but remember what you're celebrating and why you're celebrating icelebratt, a you're fortunate to even have the opportunity to celebrateyou

independence. not everybody gets that. and so, yeahge, and then tomorrow, then the next day on the fifth, you know, you look at what you could donu better to continue to move thingse forward and bring your community together and, you know, be a better human being. beth o to call you friends. i've gotten to know both of you over the last decade. erinf yoer the knew me when i ld a little prettier and still had legs. nate, i'm sorrd y you missed th part. you're still good. listen, we sit here and talk toda y, and we didn't even talkin the about the stories in the book. we talked about your gratitude . . we talked about how you want to keep helping others. and thiswant is such is asu exceptional as the two of you are that is a common thread among american veterans. and you guys just represenamerif absolutely well. thank you both for coming here and talking with me and happy independence day.that's i appreciate it. that's what the book's all about, though. that is a great job. nobooks all t. w. aaron >> thanks, ira. coming up, how a powerfulomin friendshipg helped benjamin ha.

us throughout history, when we stand together, we can accomplish anything.fo our fox family experiencedx fami firsthand last year after foreign correspondent benjamin hall was gravely injured during the ukraine war. ane ukraine war. friendship with jennifer griffin and a little help fromd god, benjamin came out on top. >> take a look. take a >> since the day i was nearly l killed by russian bombs last year while coverinook. -g the wn ukraine, i've met so many people who make me immensely wiople who make me immensely without the bravery of servicemen, of doctorsthe brav,f nurses, i would not be here today. but on this independencey bu da i'd like to take the time to thank my colleague and my dear friend jennifer thanky grn for saving my life that day. bengay. hearing your voice makes meday. give a little bit emotional thinking back to a year and a half agor voic and looking backa what you've done in terms of your recovery and your positivee

attitude, you are the one who inspires all of us and make me and alls al the others who ar part of that incredible team, proud to be an american. so thank you. kin >> that very, very kind of you, jen. but in fact, i know for a factb that i wouldn't be sitting here were it not for the the actions that no you took that very second,tht as soon as you heard that we had been hit. i know you reached outry secon o kirby. you reached out to jennifer to serve abroad. and i wondered what you thought the second that you that i u thou you howyou that you knew to act so quickly and who you knew to reach out to. >> andho well, the amazing thing about being in this job here at the pentagon and i've been here 15 years and i've also been in the field and there haven unfor unfortunately been with colleagues who were beth colleagues who were to being injured or killed. so my reaction, i think, likes o many people have done this for many years, my reactionsears, , i didn't really think i went right into action. and what i've found ind what i l business over the years is that it's all about relationships. and these relationships all came back and paid back in spades at that very crucial

moment when you were missing, when pierr e was missing, whenwere sasha was missing. and it jus mist was there was a. of fate involved. john kirby was sittingjohn kir i the pentagon booth with me, and i turned to him and asked tur help fromto him and asked the defense secretary. and they didn't hesitate knowin g how good our military and medicine is and how we needed to get you to landstuh l. get you to landstuh wasn't sure how we were going to get you to landstuhl, because kirby told me right off that the u.s. military could not go into ukrainlde. t mome and at that moment we didn't know where you were. so that's when now wher i who do i know who has done this kind of work or has a network of people who could help? and that's when i called sarah varnad'so of the independence fund of save our allies. i had seen the incredible work that her team had done on the ground in afghanistane , getting 12,000 afghans out during that very messy withdrawalns outg th. and those private individuals just happened to be in poland

ready to launch. but again, it was an act of fate at that point that thatdib incredible team and people like sara varnado, seaspray, bowe white, rich shattuck, they're just whi, incredible americans. >> absolutely. and they also make absol me ame incredibly proud to be an american. if it weren't for them that i wouldn't be here either. if it wethemt you also knew whol because of all your involvement you n some of theseheseolvement wounded warrior projects. i know that you have hosted the wounded warrior experience warrior ded warrior experience ,which allows injured veterans from afghanistan and iraq to speak about what happened to them to create these communities. you work closely with the independence them fund.pendence you host the hearings the heroes of military medicine awards, whicyou host hh i'm verl for as well, because military medicine really saved me. got me walking again, brought me back. >> and so you've you did all these things beforagain.d e my e happened. what drew you to that? what wha that inspired you toan go and help so many people, so many wounded veterans out theree ? >> benji when i started here at the pentagon, it was 15 years ago. it was the start of the surge. and there were so many youngeri

americans who were losing their limbs, facing traumatic brain injuries, who were being filling the wards at walter ree reed and building 62 in particular. and so as a reporterand 62 i, i couldn't sit by and watch and not try to at least help sti and go tell their stories. and there were different ways that i got involved inthere s . one of the things i'm able to do is to emcee and to do is so do is to emcee and to do is event. so i started emceeing fundraiser is and then gott sara more and more involved, and that's how i met sarah varada and her husbandh ak sergeant mike ferraro, who had 120 surgeries up at walter0 surr reed. those that is what got me involved and allowed me to know these incredible americans whoma ran to the fire didn't askns the where you were. they just went to find you and they got you out. and we're so gratefud l thatou'r they did and that you are thriving today and back with your familyoday. >> yeah, absolutely. and i think i speak to so manyl offo them as well today, and th mean a huge amount to me.
