“Today Is A Day To Be Proud To Be An American”

Those were the words shouted by Rick Rescorla as he herded 2700 people out of Tower Two eight years ago today.

Who was Rick Rescorla? I’m sure you’ve seen his picture before…

He fought alongside LTC Hal Moore in the Ia Drang Valley as a member of the 7th Cavalry in Vietnam and was a genuine hero. Many years later on September 11th 2001 he was a hero again.

“Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming
Can’t you see their spear points gleaming?
See their warriors’ pennants streaming
To this battlefield.
Men of Cornwall stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
for the battle were not ready.
STAND AND NEVER YIELD!”
- “Men of Harlech”
Sung by Rick Rescorla in the Ia Drang Valley 1965 and in the stairway of WTC Tower 2 on September 11, 2001
