Rick Rescorla, a Cornishman veteran of Ia Drang, later shepherded hundreds of World Trade Center employees to safety on 9/11. Tragically, while combining the building for stragglers, he was caught up in its subsequent collapse. His body was never found.

His exploits, along with others’, are memorialized in a book written by Hal Moore, the American commander during that five day clash. Rescorla’s photo is on the cover of “We were soldiers once ,,, and young”.
