The Importance of Getting Fit

On 9-11, I was in Orange County and I was able to go to the base on that day. You know, we flew, I flew with the FEMA teams to New York that night. And it's not how things turned out, of course, but I was eight up. I wanted to go from the start. In 2004, I was supposed to go in and I broke my ankle trying to get fit in a short period of time. So I didn't get to go until 2007.
