Johnny “Joey “Jones
Combat-wounded Marine Staff Sergeant (Ret.) Johnny “Joey” Jones has transformed personal tragedy into a powerful mission—uplifting others through service, storytelling, and strength. After losing both legs in Afghanistan while serving as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician, Joey became a nationally recognized voice for veterans, resilience, and recovery.

A FOX News contributor and best-selling author of Unbroken Bonds of Battle, Joey brings humor, heart, and hope to every stage he steps on. Whether advocating on Capitol Hill, mentoring fellow wounded warriors, or sharing his inspiring story nationwide, Joey’s message of overcoming adversity and leaning into community continues to change lives.

Based in Georgia with his wife and children, Joey remains active in veterans’ advocacy and is a proud supporter of strong families, resilient spirits, and—of course—college football.
