I've become familar with Rick Rescorla's heroics through Aloha Ronnie's efforts. The last paragraph is an amazing statistic.
Like Hal Moore I'm guessing he made a promise to himself to be the last off the field of battle.

HEART OF A SOLDIER is a fine book. Even those wussies at TIME Mag called it ''Best Non-Fiction of 2002''.

A great American, on the battlefields of Vietnam and New York. Rick deserves recogition for what he did on 9/11. I sometimes wonder if he had a premonition.
