His heroism is explained within these basic examples: he cares about his family and friends, he does what's right and stops those who would do wrong, and he…

    patrolling San Diego for Some time our chapter was located in downtown. I felt there was a need for us if I didn’t I wouldn’t have wasted my time. I’d been interviewed on television and spoke to youth summer camps and grade school kids. I never revealed my true identity for any of these appearances and that did peek people’s curiosity a little, maybe. But no one ever really went out of their way to find out who we were.
