9-11: Remembering an Anglo-American HeroThe News Gets WorseRick Rescorla Was a Soldier
If you were to tread one post for 9-11, the Chief suggests strongly that this would be the one! Rick Resorla was security head for Morgan Stanley in the WTC. He predicted an attack on the building through the parking garage before it happened. After security on that was beefed up, he actually predicted air attack via crashing airliners as the next method to be used.
As if that isn't enough, there is an exceptional record of service and heroism in the life of this Cornwall born naturalized American that is well worth remembering as exemplifying the best. He served with distinction in the Royal Army, and then in the US Army 7th Cav in Viet-nam.
Check Greyhawk's post in the Mudville Gazette out - it's well worth it. Check out the links there, and don't forget to sign the petition for Rick to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
UPDATE: History Channel tonight running an excellent program "THE MAN WHO PREDICTED 9-11" - about Rick Rescorla. By the way, you can see Rick Rescorla's picture on the cover of the book We Were Soldiers Once, and Young.
A Soldier, indeed.
