“I am a self-made man. I migrated to the US as a young man, worked hard and put myself through college and medical school. I also served honorably in the Army National Guard, the Air Force reserve, and ultimately the Air National Guard” stated Dr. Randhawa about his education. He describes himself as a representative of someone who has lived the American Dream.
