What: Private Screening of the “Mr. Inspiration” Documentary: The Bob Wieland Story
Who: Watering Seeds Organization and Bob Wieland, former Vietnam Veteran of the Year and “Most Courageous Man in America”
In 1968, Bob Wieland was a rising baseball phenom—an elite southpaw from Milwaukee regularly striking out over 17 batters per game, with Major League scouts from the Twins, Mets, and Phillies at his doorstep. But in early 1969, Bob’s dreams were put on hold as he answered the call to serve in the United States Army.
That call would come at a steep cost. On June 14, 1969, while rescuing a fellow soldier during an enemy ambush in Vietnam, Bob stepped on a pressure-detonated mortar. His legs were blown off. He was declared dead on arrival—zipped in a body bag, stacked among the fallen. But God had other plans. Miraculously, he was found clinging to life, and what followed was nothing short of a resurrection.
Within six weeks, Bob was up, training, pressing forward—not with legs, but with unshakable faith. He shattered world records in powerlifting, earned two degrees in physical education, competed in marathons and triathlons, and became a mentor and motivator to thousands. He is the only double amputee to serve on an NFL coaching staff (Green Bay Packers, ’89–’90; Indianapolis Colts, ’94).
But it was his journey from Los Angeles to Washington D.C.—2,784 miles on his arms over 3 years, 8 months, and 6 days—that etched his name into the annals of American history. Upon completing the odyssey, Bob was greeted by President Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office, who named him “Mr. Inspiration.”
More Than a Documentary—A Mission to Uplift and Transform
Through the release of Mr. Inspiration, WSO seeks to ignite hearts and mobilize communities—especially veterans, youth, and those weathering unseen battles—with a message of perseverance, purpose, and divine hope.
