THREAD: What took me 20 years to find was revealed in one simple TikTok. Now I can completely tell his story.

This is Rick Rescorla. He’s credited with saving more than 2,700 people on #September11

But 3 months before that, he found me crying in my Boy Scout uniform. Back in June 2001, just months before #September11 , I was a 13-year-old Boy Scout on the 2001 National Boy Scout Jamboree.

It took me to stops at the Pentagon and the World Trade Center.

And this Texas teen was awed by New York City and the view from the tower.
