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.”
The journalist’s appearance on TV came months after he first documented the extent of the injuries that he suffered.
In April, he shared a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed and sporting an eye patch.
He paid tribute to his colleagues Pierre and Oleksandra, who was affectionately known as Sasha.
The foreign reporter said: “Pierre and I traveled the world together, working was his joy and his joy was infectious. RIP.”
Hall told fans that his hand was being “put together” and one of his eyes was no longer working.
He revealed that his “hearing was blown”, but added: “All in all I feel pretty damn lucky to be here – and it is the people who got me here who are amazing!”
The journalist has reported on several elections and has interviewed prime ministers, foreign ministers, US commanders, and presidents, according to the FOX website.
Hall has also reported from behind enemy lines in countries such as Libya, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Egypt, Haiti, and Iran.
The esteemed correspondent has previously worked for the New York Times, AFP, The BBC, and The Times of London.
He was recently given a 2022 Foreign Press gong from The Association of Foreign Press Correspondents.
