Whose amazing story connects a small Cornish town, a 1965 battle and the saving of over 3,000 lives in one day of the 21st century? What medal are campaigners pushing for him to receive?

I think you must be referring to Rick Rescorla, who should, without a doubt, receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rescorla Sep 06 05, 8:19 PM

I think Col. Rescorla lived a remarkable life, and wouldn't think of denying him his due, but I think the Carnegie Hero Award would be more appropriate. And more meaningful than sharing with certain other recipients of the PMF. http://www.carnegiehero.org/resources_pub.php Sep 06 05, 8:53 PM

Of course that's a yay Frankie! It was indeed the chief of security at Morgan Stanley who worked out that the WTC would be attacked, how it would be done and what to do about it. It is the PMF that is being pushed for but Robboy has a point. Sep 07 05, 12:37 AM
