My husband, Rick Rescorla, was one of the 3,000 Americans murdered by terrorists on 9/11/01.

Susan Rescorla isn't confused about what happened on 9-11-01.

A Heroes Bump---ALOHA RONNIE,

I just finished the most gut gripping, heart wrenching book. I could not sleep for nights thinking about the horrors experienced by those trapped inside the Twin Towers and knowing America has breed such incredibly brave and selfless men and women who'd risk their lives to save others.

The name of the book is 102 MINUTES The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers written by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn, 2005

Rick Rescorla's heroism is mentioned many times in the book and he is truly a brave and courageous "angel in the whirlwind".

WE Will Not Forget!

Read "Heart Of A Soldier" by James B. Stewart. The Story of A great Patriot and American hero Rick Recorla. I saw an Audio of the book for sale on E-Bay too.

THE REAL HEROES ARE DEAD
by JAMES B. STEWART
A love story.
Issue of 2002-02-11
Posted 2002-02-11


As Susan Greer was walking her golden retriever one morning near her home, in Morristown, New Jersey, she heard footsteps behind her. It was just after six, on a warm Saturday in late July of 1998; she liked the quiet and the early-morning light. The footsteps came closer, and then a jogger passed her. He was tall and somewhat heavy, and appeared to be about her age—she was fifty-six. What really caught her attention was his feet. He had no shoes on. It wasn't like her to say anything to a stranger, but curiosity overcame her, and she asked, "What are you doing jogging in your bare feet?"

The jogger didn't stop, or even turn around. "I need to know what it feels like to run without shoes," he shouted, and explained that he was writing a play, and it was set in Africa.

Old Dogs and Wild Geese are Fighting



Head for the Storm

As you faced it before

For where there is the Seventh

There’s bound to be fighting
And where there’s no fighting

It’s the Seventh no more.



Best,



Rick Rescorla, Hard Corps One-Six



“Hard Corps One-Six” was his radio call sign in Vietnam.

Hi Ronnie. Did I ever tell you I spoke to Rick Rescorla in '93, just before the first WTC bombing? He told me that day how my dad saved his life in the battle of the Ia Drang Valley.

We spoke for the longest time and what a warm and kind individual he was. I'll never forget...

Thru the RICK RESCORLA MEMORIAL FOUNDATION... a new Bronze Sculpture of RICK RESCORLA is to stand in a place he dearly LOVED:

Ft. Benning GA

A holy place that trains America's Heroes to fight for the Freedom of Others, everywhere, freeing them all to more freely LOVE one another.
