Gary Owen!

Memo to Hal Moore -
When you get to the LZ at Fiddler’s Green, look for Rescorla’s signal. He will pop smoke for you.

Our loss is Heaven’s gain...and he is once again united with his beloved Julia.
Thank you for your service, General. “Rest in peace thou good and faithful servant...”

For our less knowing comrades, Rick Rescorla was a GREAT hero and martyr of 09/11's attack on the World Trade Center's towers. He guided many to safety and died going back to save more. A Cornwall Englishman, he joined the US Army in 1963 and was a platoon leader for Col. Moore.

Once again I will put on the USMA's Glee Club album, "Stand Ye Steady" and think of these heroes! God blesses our country with such men, may we never forget them!

Interesting you mention Rescorla, a giant of a man himself but who is pretty much airbrushed from Gibson’s movie, when surely he could have received a more prominent role. I wonder why this was so.
