Fox News’ Benjamin Hall, who was injured in an attack in Ukraine, says in a video message for Fox Nation’s Patriot Awards that he is “doing very well right now.”

Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall, who was seriously injured in an attack in Ukraine in March, gave an update on his recovery in a video message to Fox Nation’s Patriot Awards.

Hall received the Courage Award from the ceremony.

“I wish I could be there in person to pick it up, but I can’t yet. I’m doing really well now,” he said. “I walk much better. I can see better My injuries are getting better and it’s all thanks to the people who came to save me. It is thanks to the people who came that brought me back together.

“The doctors, the nurses, the pilots, the soldiers all risked their own lives to save me. So I want to give them that price, I want to give them his price, all of us and everyone out there is doing the same. Thanks to everyone. I’ll see you soon.”

Cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshynova, who worked as a freelance consultant for the network, were killed when their vehicle was hit by an approaching fire near Kiev. Hall was with them when they covered the Russian invasion.

Zakrzewski and Kuvshynova attended a tribute at the Committee to Protect Journalists’ International Press Freedom Awards on Thursday night. Fox News’ Bill Hemmer read the names of journalists who have died in the past year.

At the Patriot Awards, Harris Faulkner and Johnny Joey Jones. A Fox News Media employee, presented Hall with the award. While deployed to Afghanistan in 2010, Jones lost both legs above the knee and severe damage to his forearm and both wrists.

Hall lost half a leg and his foot on his other leg. He also lost the ability to function in an eye and an ear, as well as his left hand, in addition to burns all over his body.

“The first time it happened I emailed Ben. I tried to give any advice I had as a fellow amputee in wartime that I thought was simple and could be followed,” Jones said. “I said, ‘Be relentlessly patient, acquaint yourself with your friend’s pain, and if you’re looking for inspiration, look no further than your family and then in the mirror.’

He added: “When we talk about the price of bravery, it’s not just about the courage to run onto the battlefield to do your job. It is the courage to work through the unknown, and recovery is unknown. So without further ado I can say that Benjamin Hall is brave because every day since that day he has fought the unknown and proved his own doubts wrong and I will not share the words he texted back to me because they must him give, but I can tell you that. This man loves his family and his life and he is doing well.”

In a video tribute at the ceremony, Hall recounted what happened. “When I was bombed in that car, the second bomb went to the front of the car and I went out for 9 seconds,” he said. “Everything went black. I couldn’t move, couldn’t see or hear anything. The only things telling me to get out of the car were the kids and Alicia. ,Stand up. Open your eyes. ‘ I got out of the car a few seconds before the third bomb hit the car itself. They were the ones who paid the compensation. But thanks to them I survived. I am here because of them. Because of them I do it now, and thanks to them I continue.”
