Tony Taylor: When I returned home
Clip 7

Taylor: When I came back, I was much more serious about life. I knew how easy life could be taken away from you. It wasn't important to be out partying. It was important to do something with your life and try to make a difference. So, when I came back from Vietnam, I went to college; that was my whole plan. I went to college year round and I didn't stop until I got my Masters. I earned my Bachelors and Masters in four years because that was my plan. I didn't need to stop.

Student: So, it gave you goals and priorities. That's good.
Taylor: Yes. One thing about the Marine Corps is it challenges you. I went in there a child, and they make you do things that challenge your belief about yourself, things you thought you'd never do, but you had to do it.
