My friend and colleague has an excellent quote in her latest piece on Obamacare in the Supreme Court:

Rick Rescorla – great American

Rick Rescorla was born in England, joined the military at 16 and fought in Cyprus and Rhodesia. When the English ran out of wars, he moved to the United States, where he joined the U.S. Army to fight in Vietnam. He worked his way up to Sergeant before becoming an officer. He fought in the Battle of Ia Drang as a platoon leader in B Co., 2/7th Cavalry and is pictured on the cover of Gen. Hal Moore’s book, We Were Soldiers Once… And Young (see photo right).
Rick became head of security for Morgan Stanley and worked in the World Trade Center. After the 1993 terrorist attack, Rescorla was the last person out of the Towers after evacuating everyone. On 9/11 he evacuated his Morgan Stanley employees and was last seen heading back up the stairs to rescue victims who could not get out. Apart from Rescorla and his two deputies, only three Morgan Stanley employees died in the attack. Thousands survived, many of which might not have if it weren’t for Rick Rescorla.
