NEVER FORGET
The man who predicted 9/11,
RICK RESCORLA,
gave up his own life while saving 3,000 other lives...
at the World Trade Center's Tower II,
on the 1st day of a world wide war on terrorism...
that he also predicted.
His 'Follow Me' bronze statue likeness was joyfully unvailed
last Saturday at his favorite place in America,
Ft. Benning GA.,
by his loving widow SUSAN.
True Heroes there lauded RICK's lifetime lifesaving life...
as the example for the rest of us to follow
in this new time of war.
It was a joy just being there.
NEVER FORGET

The History Channel was there taping all at Ft. Benning GA Saturday.
Tune in at 8:00pm on the night of 9/11/2006.
An Event to NEVER FORGET.

Susan Rescorla states "My husband, Rick Rescorla, was one of the 3,000 Americans murdered by terrorists on 9/11/01"
Never forget her words.
I read the story about Rick and Susan shortly after 9/11. It is a fairytale story that is enhanced, not diminished, by its untimely ending. Beautiful people, both of them.
Great post ...thanks mucho RG...

Thanks fo all the links, Ronnie.
Rick Rescorla was truly an American Hero.
I have the book. I stole it from my brother. He said it was the best book he ever read. I can't bring myself to read it. I just hold it.
And then, I fight to keep Kerry and Murtha, etc., etc., etc. down.
great pic. thanks for posting it
