An American hero is getting a new lease on life.


U.S. Army veteran Richard Neider has regained his ability to walk thanks to new robotic exoskeleton technology.

The Arizona vet was paralyzed due to a spinal injury he suffered while serving in Iraq in 2005, which completely wiped out the use of his legs.

The new FDA-approved technology, developed in Israel, helped Neider take his first steps in more than a decade, which he considered an "amazing experience," as he shared during an appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022.
