Rocky Sickmann is a kind, grateful, selfless, caring, gentleman - and true American Patriot. His story is one that everyone absolutely needs to learn.
If you've not listened to, or watched, Part 1 of Iranian Hostage - American Patriot featuring Rocky Sickmann, it's suggested that you do prior to experiencing Part 2.
In Part 1, Rocky shares the story of becoming a Marine, being held hostage for 444 days, how that resolved, and the keys to his survival during captivity.
Part 2 focuses on Rocky's life after regaining his freedom. Rocky learned that many of his colleagues had been released much earlier than he and his 51 fellow captives. He tells the devastation of learning that eight Americans lost their lives during a failed rescue attempt - the people that Rocky calls the true heroes.
From Iranian hostage, to husband and father, to business executive, to a passionate advocate for Folds of Honor, Rocky has lived his life committed to his original core values. Love of Family. Love of Faith. Love of Country. Add to that Love of Freedom and you'll begin to see what makes a true American Patriot.
