I never said I was an American hero. My heroes are made of tougher stuff than I am. That being said, I was on standby to deploy with a medical rescue team to Bam, Iran, for the earthquake. I was willing to go and take part in the rescue effort. That is more than you can say. I'm no hero, but I've got the scars to prove I stepped up to the plate a few times and made a little bit of a difference. Before you laugh at me again, maybe you should consider this.
