Justin “JP” Lane enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2008 at the age of 20. Serving as a combat engineer, he deployed to Afghanistan with the 428th Engineer Company in October 2010, tasked with detecting and neutralizing IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). On July 2nd, 2011, during a combat mission, his RG31 truck was hit by a 200lb IED blast, leaving him in a coma for six weeks and inflicting a total of 26 injuries, including the loss of both legs—a profound turning point in his life. Hailing from Green Bay, Wisconsin, JP’s dedication to serving and protecting the American people remains unwavering, even in the face of adversity. His journey has led him to champion post-traumatic growth, inspiring civilians, veterans, and active-duty troops nationwide with his message of resilience: “Never Give Up, Never Surrender.” Recognized as both a speaker and talented singer, JP has graced prestigious stages, including performances at the inaugurations of Presidents Obama and Trump, as well as alongside renowned artists like Neal McCoy, Lee Greenwood, and Gavin DeGraw. His wife, Crystal, encouraged him to share his remarkable story, resulting in the globally acclaimed book “Walking Again,” available on Amazon. JP’s narrative is one of faith, determination, and an unyielding love for life—an embodiment of strength and hope in the face of adversity.
