A group of folks (the Richard C. Rescorla Memorial Foundation) are trying to raise money to have a bronze statue of Rick Rescorla cast and placed at the National Infantry Museum being built at at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Who is this guy? He's a hero, quite simply. He saved 2700 people that horrible day that will live in infamy. His supporters are trying to get the Presidental Medal of Freedom awarded to him. This is an incredible story of his life, his valor in Vietnam, and his heroic actions on that day. (story here)

Update:
The story of LZ Xray, the Vietnam battle where Rick Rescoria and countless others heroicly repulsed a numerically superior enemy, is here
