I actually saw this this weekend. It is an amazing story about a TRUE hero.

[LibertyRocks]

Thank you so much for posting this. Still absorbing this and don’t have words right now... just tears.

[Lady Lucky]

A very moving story, thank you for posting.
One minor drawback in the report offered by the Blaze. The writer refers to “Ling Young, who also survived the impact in the sky lobby.”
Impact? It wasn’t a meteorite.

I have tears running down my face after viewing this video my his Mother:

What a magnificent Hero!

Was he actually a Firefighter because she mentions his office at the WTC. Perhaps he was a ‘volunteer’?

[goodnesswins]

he was a trader

Starwise, thank you for posting this. What a wonderful young man and truly a hero. God has another angel.

Julie, he had volunteered at 16 as a village firefighter. Then when he got the trading job and worked it for awhile, he really didn’t like sitting in front of a computer all day, and told his father he was thinking of changing careers to become a firefighter.

Don’t miss the first the video from ESPN. It’s so beautifully done.

He’s still on my heart today .. I’m in awe of his selflessness, valor and compassion. It’s like all his life and experiences were preparing him for this one momentous day and his ordained mission.

He didn’t hesitate to put others before himself in those harrowing moments of life and death, and truly exemplifies the words hero and angel. It’s the pain and sorrow of those who loved him and have him no more that hurts so deeply, but you sense he wouldn’t have made any other decision. It was just always in him.

What wonderful parents, to have raised this angel of a fine, young man. God comfort them.

Beautiful tribute to a very brave man. I don’t possess enough words to describe his actions and inspiration to others but it seems he was put there for that purpose. God Bless him and his family.

[STARWISE]

Isn’t it breathtaking, dear Red.

I can’t get him out of my thoughts ..

[Hot Tabasco]

Perhaps he was a ‘volunteer’?

He was an equities trader at Sandler, O’Neill and Partners on the 104th floor of the South Tower.

AND he was a volunteer fire fighter......

[RedMDer]

Yes it is and it is great that his parents got the affirmation of their son's courageous action. They will see him again.
