Dancing with Hero J.R. Martinez

Aired on: December 23, 2011

Iraq war veteran and Dancing with the Stars champ J. R. Martinez drops by for our holiday salute to the troops and is thrilled to see who else is in the studio. "This is amazing," he says, while greeting the men and women in uniform filling the audience. "It's an honor for me to be here in your presence and at the same time just say thank you!"

J. R. is also a proud Dancing with the Stars champ and offers to show of his moves to Rach under one condition: "We're going to dance!" he says, before sweeping her off her feet!
