An amazing actor and motivational speaker, Jose Rene Martinez began working with the U.S. Army infantryman in 2002. When he was serving in Iraq, his military vehicle called Humvee stepped on a landmine and the explosion left severe burns over his body. However, he continues to inspire other burnt victims. He starred in several television shows and movies like All My Children and also emerged as the winner of Dancing with the Stars.
