#4 Ref #2: Rescorla served in Cyprus during the EOKA insurgency as a young Paratrooper with the British Army, before transferring to the Northern Rhodesia Police in 1960 for a three year contract.

#6 A superb profile from 2002, by James B. Stewart in the New Yorker-- back when patriotism was still acceptable to the pre-Shitshow newsmedia.

And before anyone had ever heard of the affirmative action washout and British colonial-hating cokehead who would gain the White House and in all likelihood-- as Besoeker implies-- ensure that Rick Rescorla's memory not receive its due praise and honor.

#7 There is also a documentary made for television that highlights what he did that day. Can't remember the name but I believe t comes on the history channel every year on 9/11.
