“When I came back, I tried to live independently. In the Marine Corps, ...” — Dakota Meyer Quote

“When I came back, I tried to live independently. In the Marine Corps, we're taught as a team, so why would you think you're going to get out of the military and live independently and not rely on your support system around you?”

“I grew up on a farm, and I think I would have come back and done something like that. It's an honest way of life, a conservative way of life, simple way of life.”

“I'm never gonna date again, because I can't imagine meeting a woman that's good enough for my daughters.”

“I don't have to run the Peace Corps. I could live without seeing my picture in the newspapers and without being interviewed.”

“I never thought anyone would pity me because of my time in the Marine Corps.”

“When you get out of the Marine Corps, you feel like you can do anything.”
