Today there will be many local news stations featuring stories about locals who have overcome some obstacles in life to get where they are today. There are many hero's in Iowa that could be recognized, but today we will be featuring Taylor Morris. For those who haven't heard the story yet, Morris is a sailor from Iowa, and in May of 2012 he lost a chunk of every one of his limbs when he was protecting the American freedom in Afghanistan. His recovery story will inspire just about everyone out there, not just Iowans but people all across America. With the tremendous dedication and help of his longtime girlfriend Danielle Kelly, his recuperation has been nothing short of an inspiration for everyone. Morris started off learning the basic functions in life such as learning how to walk and drive again. That is where most people in his situation would stop. However, Morris decided to take it a step further and push his limits by taking up kayaking and snowboarding. Last Veterans Day, President Barrack Obama honored him for his courage and even included Morris in his inauguration ceremonies. Morris then got invited to be on The Today Show and his story is now going viral on the Internet via BuzzFeed. Morris is now out of the hospital and lives with his girlfriend Danielle in an apartment near Washington D.C. where he will continue his recovery process.
