NIAGARA FALLS AIR RESERVE STATION, N.Y. -- For more than 20 years, Col. Victor Brown, dentist, and commander of the 914th Aeromedical Staging Squadron, has made annual humanitarian missions to Haiti. As part of a team of dentists, "Doc" Brown treats more than 100 Haitian patients daily in less than optimal conditions. This selflessness has inspired another dentist, Maj. Stanley Michel, also of the 914 ASTS, to volunteer his time in Haiti. Michel, whose parents are both from Haiti, felt compelled to give back to the poorest nation in the Americas.
