When we first met Commander Sanders, he was sitting in his room cradling a gun. It's never said what happened, but the strength of Lt. Commander Sanders's actions tells the story. Formerly a retired Special Forces Colonel, he goes to the Stargate project and declares it classified. Brave enough to lead men into the unknown. Strong enough to fight an alien army. Compassionate enough to sacrifice his life for his team. The man Richard Dean Anderson said had no sense of humor.
