This image is of Lt. Rick Rescorla, an Army infantry officer who was photographed as he fixed his bayonet in the Ia Drang Valley in 1965. The image graced the cover of the first edition of the book, We Were Soldiers Once and Young, written by Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and Joe Galloway.
Rescorla would earn a Silver Star and Purple Heart and other awards, surviving the famously fierce battle. During battles, he was known for singing battle hymns which helped calm those around him. He went on to serve in the Army Reserve until his retirement as a colonel in the 1990s.
On Sept. 11, 2001, Rescorla was a director of security in the south tower of the World Trade Center. After the aircraft hit, Rescorla went up into the towers to help people evacuate. Evacuees who were helped by Rescorla said that through the smoke they could hear a man singing so they followed the sound which led them to Rescorla. He directed them to safety, down and out of the building.
He is credited with saving more than 2,700 lives. He was last seen climbing higher into the towers with his security team to help those that were trapped in the higher floors who still needed help. His body was never found.

That Sanyo/Wollensak is, arguably, the best 8-track play/record deck ever made.

Especially steel drums.

Nervous Norvus has a pretty zorch reel-to-reel deck with which to woo all of the bellarooni chicks. Dig this, you crazy cats.

Marines are trained to go toward the danger.
Last Thursday, a group of Marine Corps Body Bearers was heading home after its fifth funeral service of the day during some torrential downpours in the Washington, D.C., area, according to Task & Purpose. They noticed a man and woman in trouble in their stalled vehicle as floodwaters continued to rise near Arlington National Cemetery, Task & Purpose reported.
