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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
