The Man in the Red Bandana

There are so many stories, documentaries, and videos recounting what the heroes of 9/11 sacrificed that day, and this is one of my favorites.

I try to watch this video every year around early September, and it always resets my perspective.

This is the story of Welles Crowther, a WTC employee who saved no less than 18 fellow WTC employees on 9/11.

It’s a moving reminder about the hero that lives within all of us.

You can watch the full length documentary, The Man in the Red Bandana, here.
