Page Snippet (minus the photo): "THE RICHARD C. RESCORLA MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

http://www.rickrescorla.com/index.html


Rick Rescorla - Battle of the Ia Drang - Viet Nam - 1965


My husband, Rick Rescorla, was one of the 3,000 Americans murdered by terrorists on 9/11/01. Rick was Vice President of Security for Morgan-Stanley/Dean-Witter, the largest tenant in the World Trade Center. His heroic actions on the day of the attack, along with his extraordinary foresight and preparation, saved the lives of 2,700 people. His story has been told on television and radio - in newspapers and magazines - and in the book Heart Of A Soldier, by Pulitzer Prize winner James B. Stewart. Rick is also on the cover of another book, We Were Soldiers Once... And Young, written by General Hal Moore and Joseph Galloway. You see, 9-11 was not the first time Rick had distinguished himself. 9-11 was just the last heroic chapter of his heroic life.

I am so very proud to have had him in my life. I want so to have his legacy live on. Two years ago Rick's friends and I decided to establish The Richard C. Rescorla Memorial Foundation in Rick's memory, to keep present the magnitude of Rick's life and to promote the virtues Rick lived by – duty, honor, and courage.

To that end we commissioned a bronze statue of Rick, based on that iconic photo of him at the Ia Drang. This statue will be placed on permanent display at the new National Infantry Museum to be built at Ft. Benning, Georgia. This statue was unveiled April 1, 2006 at a wonderful ceremony at the old museum and is now in storage there while the new museum is being built.
Many people contributed their time, effort, and money to this project. To each of you, I extend my deep gratitude and enduring appreciation.

Susan Rescorla"

"Bible Classes Being Moved From Mooresville School Grounds"
AP ^ | 11-24-06

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MOORESVILLE, Ind. -- Bible classes taught by a private group to third- and fourth-graders during school hours are being moved about a month after a lawsuit was filed over the practice.

The move off the grounds of the Mooresville Consolidated School Corp. is permanent and comes as the district nears a settlement on the lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, said Curt Freeman, the school district's superintendent."
