As Program Manager and Liaison to Stark Industries, I’ve had the honor of serving with a real patriot, a man whose life has been dedicated to protecting our troops on the front lines. He’s a friend. And a great mentor. A man who has always been there for his friends and his country. Ladies and gentlemen, this year’s ARES Award winner -- Mr. Tony Stark.

A lot of people would kill to have their name on that award.

What’s wrong with you? A thousand people came here tonight to honor you, and you leave them with egg on their face. This award means something, Tony, it’s bigger than you --
