In the fourth part of the new segment of Starting Overdrive called Turning Points, which explores life-defining events of irreversible change, creator and host, Reg Seeton, tells the story of how his past and present collided at a major crossroads where he felt the weight of hopelessness about his future after waking up from a coma and enduring five years of recovery to get his life back.
After the night that changed his life forever (Part 1), waking up from a coma (Part 2), and his five year recovery (Part 3), Reg Seeton found himself struggling to resume life given all that he had been through in the previous six years in and out of the hospital. Reg wasn't the same person anymore. What did the future hold for him?
In Turning Points: Part 4 - My Life At A Crossroads, Reg recalls the exact moment of time back in 1991 in which his life had reached a crossroads while he stared out into the unknown horizon of the Atlantic Ocean. After years of having change forced upon him - change he couldn't control - Reg knew he had to take control of life at this one pivotal moment in time.
Also in this fourth chapter of Turning Points, Reg looks back on his childhood, the many starting over points in his life prior to his accident, his parents' relationship, how his mother and father started over, and how their crossroads related to his own profound decisions to start over after his accident.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
