The Heart of a Soldier: a story of Love, Heroism and September 11th by James B. Stewart.
Rick Rescorla was a Cornishman who came to the U.S., enlisted in the Army and served in Vietnam. He won medals for his actions in the Ia Drang battles written about in We Were Soldiers Once, and Young, though he was written out of the movie version. A photo of him is on the cover of the first publishing of the book.
As head of security for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, he supervised evacuation of their personnel on Sept. 11, last seen heading back upstairs to look for more people to help.
