Keep in mind that he died when he went back into the tower to try to help others escape after his company staff had gotten out.

Rick Rescorla if memory serves me right. He was also one of the key guys keeping the soldiers alive in the battle of the 7th Cavalry at Ia Drang. That battle was the events in the movie "We were soldiers once, and young".

At the WTC, he kept moving people of out their offices and saved most of them.

Certainly a man among men.
