9/11 Hero Red Bandana Man Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom
At a rally on Friday Trump announced he was awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a man remembered for wearing a red bandana while leading people to safety on 9/11. Welles Remy Crowther was a 24-year-old equities trader who was also a volunteer firefighter. His mother, Alison Crowther, was honored to received the award for her late son.
Welles became a symbol of American courage after survivors recalled being led through smoke and wreckage by a man wearing a red bandana over his face. According to the 9/11 Museum, Welles “made three trips to the sky lobby, saving as many people as he could, until the burning building collapsed.”
