Rick Rescorla - Hero of Vietnam War and WTC 9-11 - Featured TONIGHT on NBC's DateLine 3-20-02
Local Television Listings ^ | 3-20-02 | None

Posted on 03/20/2002 6:28:13 AM PST by VOA

Heads-up!
Rick Resorla is to be profiled on NBC's DateLine.
His role in Vietnam (featured as a chapter in "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young)
and his life-saving role (while losing his own) in 9-11 at the WTC will be covered.

Please note the URL above can be used to get to NBC's Dateline, but they
seem to be behind on their own schedule, as I see no listing of Rescorla on tonight's
show...but I saw Ms. Jane Pauley announce it at the end of last night's DateLine
and it's listed in my local (Major) newspaper.

Note Well: This episode will run TONIGHT, Wednesday 3-20-02, at 8PM Eastern/Pacific,
7PM Central.

Time to set the video-recorder or TIVO, if not yet done.

Bump for true heros...

There was a Wild Colonial Boy Rescorla was his name
He was born and raised in Hayle, Cornwall Just east of ol' Land's End
He joined the British Army When a lad of just 16
Became a brave, young soldier then As good as ever seen
He joined the U.S. Cavalry To fight in Vietnam
And he killed the Cong at the Ia Drang With bayonet and gun
He saved three thousand people when The terrorists struck home
But lost his life when he went back To rescue seven more
So lift a cup to our dear friend Remember him with joy
How dearly do his brethren love That Wild Colonial Boy
