I did not see a memorial post yet this 9/11 to Mr. Rescorla and felt someone should post it. Moderators, please let this vanity slide..........

THE REAL HEROES ARE DEAD

A love story.

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. (excerpted, please the read the rest of the story)

Hero of Ia Drang Valley, hero on 9/11.
If anyone sees the face of God, Rick does.

God Bless Rick Rescorla and the many souls who did not make it out of 9-11. God Bless All. I will never forget 9-11! It was a huge hole stricken in my country's heart that I have tried to rise, personally, above, if that is even possible and make a difference in my world! It hurt and it huuuuuuuuuurt deeeeeeeeeeep! I will never forget.
God Bless the souls who lost their lives on the 2nd Day of America's Infamy!> WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

"You see, for Rick Rescorla, this was a natural death. People like Rick, they don't die old men. They aren't destined for that and it isn't right for them to do so. It just isn't right, by God, for them to become feeble, old, and helpless sons of bitches. There are certain men born in this world, and they're supposed to die setting an example for the rest of the weak bastards we're surrounded with."

I live on FOB Rescorla in Afghanistan, in honor of Mr. Rescorla. We have a large mural/painting of him on one of our buildings.
