Rick Rescorla

Cyril Richard "Rick" Rescorla (May 27, 1939 – September 11, 2001) was a retired United States Army officer of British origin who served with distinction in Northern Rhodesia as a member of the Northern Rhodesia Police (NRP) and as a commissioned officer in the Vietnam War, where he was a second lieutenant in the United States Army.〔("Rick Rescorla, Security Manager and Hero" ). BBC. June 1, 2006.〕 As the director of security for the financial services firm Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center, Rescorla anticipated both attacks on the towers and implemented evacuation procedures credited with saving many lives. He died in the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001, while leading evacuees from the South Tower.
==Early life==
Rick Rescorla was born in Hayle, Cornwall, UK, on May 27, 1939.〔〔 He grew up there with his grandparents and his mother, who worked as a housekeeper and companion to the elderly.〔Stewart, James B. (February 11, 2002). ("The Real Heroes Are Dead" ). ''The New Yorker''.〕 In 1943, his hometown of Hayle served as headquarters for the 175th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. 29th Infantry Division, largely composed of American soldiers from Maryland and Virginia preparing for the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Young Rescorla idolized the American soldiers and wanted to become a soldier because of them.〔("9/11 - The man who saw it coming: Rick Rescorla" ). The People's Forum. Retrieved July 25, 2012.〕
Rescorla was a natural sportsman, setting a school record in the shot put, and was an avid boxer. When a professional boxing match was scheduled between a British boxer and an American heavyweight contender named Tami Mauriello, his friends backed the Briton. Rescorla stated, "I'm for Tammy" () and after Mauriello won the fight everyone in Hayle knew him as "Tammy".〔Stewart, James B., ''The Heart of a Soldier'', Simon & Schuster, New York, 2002, Chapter 2.〕
