Rick Rescorla - Hero of Vietnam War and WTC 9-11 - Featured TONIGHT on NBC's DateLine 3-20-02

Local Television Listings ^ | 3-20-02 | None

[VOA]

Heads-up!
Rick Resorla is to be profiled on NBC's DateLine.
His role in Vietnam (featured as a chapter in "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young)
and his life-saving role (while losing his own) in 9-11 at the WTC will be covered.

Please note the URL above can be used to get to NBC's Dateline, but they
seem to be behind on their own schedule, as I see no listing of Rescorla on tonight's
show...but I saw Ms. Jane Pauley announce it at the end of last night's DateLine
and it's listed in my local (Major) newspaper.

Note Well: This episode will run TONIGHT, Wednesday 3-20-02, at 8PM Eastern/Pacific,
7PM Central.

Time to set the video-recorder or TIVO, if not yet done.

...After 2 month's of my crying out for Accountability for the sudden Death of RICK RESCORLA online and on Talk Radio/TV from September 11, 2001 on...

...GOD suddenly made it possible for me at the last minute to go to our Annual Battle of IA DRANG Alumni Conference over Veteran's Day Weekend-2001 to pay Honor to him myself in Washington, D.C.

...As it turned out, our Saturday Night IA DRANG Alumni Conference Dinner was to be held in Honor of RICK RESCORLA, which I didn't now till I got there.

...At this very Special Dinner ...I ended up sitting at a table next to Mrs. SUSAN RESCORLA and her daughter on one side ...Director RANDALL WALLACE, Gen. KINNARD, The MOORE's and BRUCE CRANDALL on another with JOE GALLOWAY and Actor SAM ELLIOTT on the other. All while I was suddenly 1,000's of miles from my home with 'Dateline NBC' TV Cameras just a rolling away, of all things.

...Before dawn the next morning we of the 7th Cavalry held our own private ceremony in front of our Fallen Heroes' names on the 3rd Panel of the Vietnam Wall.
'Dateline NBC' TV Cameras again were there, along with the newly widowed SUSAN RESCORLA and "WE WERE SOLDIERS" Director RANDALL WALLACE.

...As it turned out this JANE PAULEY-narrated 'Dateline NBC' Story on RICK RESCORLA started out, when it aired in March 2002, with us standing at the Wall in the dark ..with my face looking up at the wall ...and then fading to Lt. Gen. HAL G. MOORE's starting to read the names of our Hero Soldiers Killed in Action at the Battle of IA DRANG-1965. Seems it was all in GOD's Plan..?

...In this week of May, 2003 I had another honor bestowed on me, that of shaking the hand of another Sept. 11th Hero. He was an Associate Vice-President of Morgan Stanley who RICK RESCORLA had quickly evacuated from Tower 2 after the 1st Jet Airliner slammed into Tower 1 on the morning of September 11, 2001.

...On Sept. 12th, the Morning After, this New Yorker got into his truck, commenderred as much foodstuffs his truckbed could carry from very loving New York Shops to give to the Rescue Workers down at the Wreakage of the World Trade Center.

...When he got there he immediately joined the human chain that was forming to clear ruble in the search for Victims in what was a Health and Safety Nightmare.

...America, just WHERE do we get such caring Men as these..?

...After our "WE WERE SOLDIERS" Forum was hacked to death from somewhere inside Pakistan shortly after our Movie's Release...

...its outstanding Sept. 11th Thread fired up that Day of Infamy by a son of IA DRANG Helicopter Hero BRUCE CRANDALL, that had been contributed to by IA DRANG Veterans and their families,

...was fired up again on "The ALAMO" Movie Fansite:

The sad truth is they seem to come out of the background when things seem dark enough.
