A September to Remember

9/11 for every American and especially first responders is a day that is filled with emotion, memories & patriotism. There are many stories of heroism from that day and the days afterward. One hero was Welles R. Crowther who rescued up to 18 people in one of the World Trade Center towers. He was wearing a red bandana to protect his lungs from the smoke and ash in the office space and corridors. Welles lost his life that day but has left a legacy of commitment, dedication & hope.
