"Fine, Tony. Rescorla deserves it. But why hasn't England Knighted Rescorla? He was the very epitome of a knight. He lived by the honorable code - He slew dragons on many battlefields. He rescued thousands of damsels in distress."
Yup. He did a great job getting all his people out. When the Port Authority was telling tower 2 people over the pa system to stay in their offices after the 1st tower was hit, he ignored them and made everyone evacuate. Given how many people on other floors listened and stayed put, only to die when the 2nd plane hit, his actions no doubt saved hundreds of lives.

RICK RESCORLA saved 100's of lives during the Battle of the IA DRANG Valley in 1965.
RICK RESCORLA saved 1,000's of lives at the World Trade Center during the 1993 Terrorist Bombing and then again during the 2001 Terrorist Air Strikes.
RICK RESCORLA continues to inspire others BY EXAMPLE every single day.
What better place for an inspiring new Bronze RICK RESCORLA Statue leading the way at the entrance to the National Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning GA..? And then the new National Infantry Museum upon its completion..?
