#1 Here's a wonderful piece on Rescorla by James B Stewart ("Den of Thieves") in, of all places, The New Yorker.

#2 Rick Rescorla's birth certificate may have said England but he was ... an American hero through and through

Much to admire about this wonderful man. He was made famous by the account of his actions during the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley in November 1965. It seems that every 9/11 I have returned to re-visit some account of this man's heroism. He gave his life to save a many lives on 9/11.

#3 Rescorla has predicted the towers would be hit again following the initial ground attack. He was very sadly correct.

#4 A prophet without honor.

One wonders how many more voices are still crying in the wilderness.

#6 Rescorla's story, and those of other 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq heroes, would make wonderful films, if only Hollywood had a shred of patriotism.

But vulgar emotions like that are so outre.
