Because of his tireless efforts, nearly every Morgan Stanley employee safely evacuated the South Tower on 9/11. And while Rick could have joined them, he continued to help others evacuate the building and ultimately gave his life. Ricks wife Susan and his son Trevor accepted the award on his behalf.

If there was just TWO heroes of 9/11 - they would be Richard Rescorla and John O’Neil. Both died at WTC and both warned of terrorist intentions ...
PBS Frontline had a GREAT 9/11 documentary about O’Neil called, “The Man Who Knew” ...

O'Neil was a hero. His abrasive personality rubbed PC types in both the Bureau and the State Dept the wrong way. This was particularly the case of the squalid female who was US Ambassador to Yemen and went on a crusade to drive him out of the FBI after O'Neil had humiliated her over her ‘see no evil’ approach to Islamacist terrorists in Yemen.

Sigh, I can think of none more deserving. I can think of none more undeserving to honor the memory of Richard Rescorla.
Every few days over a beer I ponder great men. Rick is always on the list. People say there are no heroes left. Rick was a first order hero.
To: ALOHA RONNIE
Hey Ronnie! How are you doing?
To: La Enchiladita
Sis you are disgusting. You shouldn’t even be allowed to utter Rick’s name.

OK, this guy did good. What does it have to do with Nappy-head Napolitani and an agency that didn’t exist at the time?

Agreed.
If the President had presented this medal, one could look at the office, and not the man. It should have been the President, as a matter of fact.
But DHS - that nest of PC and busywork bureaucrats - and that woman - feh.
