J.R. Martinez: “Facing Adversity with Optimism & Resilience”
Lebanon Valley College North College Ave., Annville, Pennsylvania 17003-1400
Actor, spokesperson, and Iraq war hero J.R. Martinez will offer a message of hope, optimism, and resilience. While he was deployed in Iraq in 2003, Martinez’s Humvee hit a land mine causing him to suffer burns to more than 40 percent of his body. After 34 months of recovery, Martinez and his dance partner took home ABC's 2011 “Dancing with the Stars” mirror ball trophy, was named as the 2012 Tournament of Roses Parade Grand Marshal, and was featured on the cover of People magazine as one of the 25 Most Intriguing People of the Year. This event is presented by Cornwall Manor and hosted by LVC. Tickets range from $25 to $40 and can be purchased at www.ticketweb.com.
