| Career Accomplishments: |
Dr. Sontag was and is greatly influenced by the ideal of Patriotism and his father's immigration to America. When he was young, he began to understand that he was only here because his father made the decision to come to America. This realization became an obsession with the unanswerable question of 'Why am I here and others not?' Dr. Sontag feels honored to be in the position to use his skills in some small way to help those who have given so much to keep America and the rest of the world free. |
