Rick Rescorla was a real hero in every way imaginable.

Yes, he was. Here is what he was singing through his bullhorn as he cleared out his Company's employees out of the tower until it collapsed on him.

This is the version from the soundtrack of the Movie "Zulu." It is the Welsh marching song, "Men of Harlech." Rick sang it as "Men of Cornwall." He used these lyrics.

Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior's pennants streaming
To this battle field

Men of Cornwall stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Stand and never yield

Form the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Cornwall onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen never not yield

Many of us were in awe of Rick Rescorta when we first heard of his heroism less than a month after 9-11. An amazing hero!
