source- Thursday marks the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 that claimed the lives of 22 Boston College alumni, including Welles Crowther (BC '99). Crowther, a former Boston College lacrosse player, equities trader and volunteer firefighter, single-handedly saved the lives of more than a dozen people in the World Trade Center's South Tower before losing his own life. On Saturday, when the Boston College football team takes the field against USC, the Eagles will be wearing helmets and uniforms emblazoned with a red bandana to honor the "Man in the Red Bandana."
This is so awesome. Great to hear that BC is honoring a true American hero. You can't argue that one. The guy lost his life to save 12 other peoples' lives, that's incredible. I hope that this becomes a yearly tradition for BC. I don't care if you're not a BC fan or a football fan, you should be rooting for them this saturday.
If you don't watch ESPN a lot, you probably missed their tribute to the "Man in the red bandana" I recommend taking a few minutes and watching it. It will change your day.
Rest in peace, WRC.
