My brother Kris would have been 53 today. He was a Royal Navy fighter pilot, flying the FA2 Sea Harrier from our aircraft carriers and then the Harrier GR9. He flew 160 missions in Afghanistan. Lieutenant Commander Kris Ward. In November 2018 he took the decision to end his own life soon after his 45th birthday. No matter how well you think your friends and family are doing, dig a little deeper. Be there for them. They may need your help. When it’s too late it’s too late.

Welles Crowther was a former Boston College lacrosse player who had a trademark red bandanna. He was also working in New York on Sept. 11, 2001 when terrorists struck the World Trade Center. This is the story of how he led people to safety on that fateful day 25 years ago.

On a day of unimaginable tragedy, ordinary people stood up as heroes on 9/11, one of whom was Rick Rescorla. Rick was a proud Cornishman and a decorated U.S. Army officer who worked as head of security for @MorganStanley in the South Tower. His foresight, courage & selflessness saved almost all of the company’s 2,700 employees on 9/11. His bravery & heroism alongside many, many others, will never be forgotten.

Every year on or right before 9/11, we show this video to our students. It’s not only powerful story-telling, it’s a reminder to a younger generation about how life altering 9/11 was for those of us who lived it. It’s only 10 min #themanintheredbandana
