Hall was severely injured in the attack that saw his colleagues Pierre Zakrzewski and Oleksandra Kuvshynova killed in March last year.
He told Fox and Friends that he has only one hand that works, has no feet, and can only see through one eye.
He recalled: “I was burned all over, and I feel strong, I feel more confident than I ever have.”
Hall issued a rallying cry as he said people shouldn’t stop trying to achieve their goals no matter how difficult.
He added: “When you have to know there’s good on the other side, that if you work hard, if you dedicate yourself to getting somewhere and you don’t stop trying to achieve that, you will get that and no matter how painful something is, no matter how hard it is.”
Hall was injured when the car he was traveling in with Pierre came under fire while newsgathering on the Ukraine war.
He recalled: “I remember lying there when it happened in the middle of nowhere – very badly injured – and thinking I’m going home no matter what. I will crawl if I have to.”
The journalist, who appeared emotional, told viewers that he had shrapnel in his eye and his throat and said he had a vision of his daughters.
Hall and his wife Alicia Meller tied the knot in 2015 and share three kids.
He said: “They brought me back and I found the strength to open my eyes.”
Hall has since documented his ordeal in the upcoming memoir “Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make It Home.”
