Wow, I never heard that story before. Thanks.
…and Rick Rescorla.
I noticed Crowther was a Scout; sounds about right.
That is quite a story. A rural, volunteer firefighter? I am not in the least bit surprised. They are a very special breed.
Great story about Rick Rescorla, as well.
True heroes.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Thanks for this post Robert…
What a fantastic young man. What a wonderful family.
Totally moving story, through most of which I cried and had to use a lot of Kleenex. Thanks for posting it, Robert.
These are the stories we need to hear over and over again, about the incredibly generous, sacrifical spirits of so many who, unlike the Islamofacists who lay down their lives in order to gleefully take our lives, lay down their lives in order to save others’ lives.
Welles Crowther epitomizes the spirit of selfless generosity — and his spirit lives on in the hearts and lives of the people he loved and the people he saved.
Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord. And may light perpetual shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
That was an amazing story, beautifully presented. Thanks for letting us know about it.
