A little late because of the time difference and an early shift, but here is to 20 years in Afghanistan. Those who were there did their very best. It's also with a solemn pride that the commander of my beloved 82nd Airborne was the last one out.
Rick Rescorla was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower on September 11, 2001. A former Army officer, he had long believed the World Trade Center could be attacked, so he made employees practice evacuation drills regularly.
When the North Tower was hit, officials told people in the South Tower to stay put. Rescorla ignored that order. Using a bullhorn, he immediately began guiding 2,700 workers down the stairs to safety.
To keep everyone calm, he sang Cornish songs from his childhood as they escaped. Almost all of Morgan Stanleyโs employees survived because of his quick action.
Rescorla went back inside to help others and was last seen just before the tower collapsed. He is remembered as one of the great heroes of 9/11.

@Gcarmi21 I don't quite understand the hype around Aiyuk. Hasn't played since major ACL and MCL surgeries. Seems to be a distraction for his team. The big thing driving this is that he's close with Daniels. Peters is bringing in old 49ers like Rivera did Panthers and we dragged him for it.
