This is the story of Taylor Morris, a 23 year-old Navy EOD tech:
Taylor Morris learned at an early age he was hooked on the outdoors, adventurous, the middle of 4 children and always the last one inside for dinner at his home in Cedar Falls, Iowa. His mother Juli recalled, "Our family took a camping trip from Niagra Falls down the East Coast one summer. Taylor set up the tents every night, started the fires, cooked the meals. Taylor was only 8 years old." As Taylor grew older and took to extreme water sports and rock climbing, Taylor discovered he was also very calm under extreme pressure. This quality would later make him the perfect candidate for the Navy's EOD, Explosive Ordinance Disposal.

Wow. Brock that is such an inspiratioal story. That man has one of the best kick ass attitudes I have ever seen. I'm glad he has a woman who will stand beside him even after what has happened to him. Good for them, I wish them the best.

ReplyDeleteYes, ma'am, as they all certainly do not.
Taylor is from my little town. Quite the guy, he is. He came home for a few days a couple of weeks ago. Quite the homecoming. People lined the road from the airport for miles.
ReplyDeleteHe was a stud wrestler and a stud soccer player at Cedar Falls High School.
Some might say that he's the "real deal". :)
Wonderful and thanks.
