Dr. B's Finest Kind Medical clinic and Fish Market

With all the arguments about the war on Viet Nam (typical news discussion program: Kerry was a hero, Bush was a jerk...Kerry was a self proclaimed hero but after the war he was a jerk...was not...was too...nyah nyah nyah....click to the weather channell).

But tomorrow we will remember the real heroes.

The story of Rick Rescola should be a movie. Actually, he is a character in the book and movie "we were soldiers" (the book is "We Were soldiers once and young).

John Olson, a Morgan Stanley regional director, saw Rescorla reassuring colleagues in the 10th-floor stairwell. "Rick, you've got to get out, too," Olson told him. "As soon as I make sure everyone else is out," Rescorla replied.

Morgan Stanley officials say Rescorla also told employees that "today is a day to be proud to be American" and that "tomorrow, the whole world will be talking about you." They say he also sang "God Bless America" and Cornish folk tunes in the stairwells. Those reports could not be confirmed, although they don't sound out of character. He liked to sing in a crisis. But the documented truth is impressive enough. Morgan Stanley managing director Bob Sloss was the only employee who didn't evacuate the 66th floor after the first plane hit, pausing to call his family and several underlings, even taking a call from a Bloomberg News reporter. Then the second plane hit, and his office walls cracked, and he felt the tower wagging like a dog's tail. He clambered down to the 10th floor, and there was Rescorla, sweating through his suit in the heat, telling people they were almost out, making no move to leave himself.

Rick did not make it out. Neither did two of his security officers who were at
his side. But only three other Morgan Stanley employees died when their building was obliterated.

is a short film where Rescola was interviewed...It would make a good movie, except that Rescola fought in Africa...and mercenaries are politically incorrect to support, even if the regiemes they fought against are now busy starving their own people.

Mel Gibson, call your office
