@marleetw: Boston College held its annual Red Bandana game to honor Welles Crowther. Known as ‘the man in a red bandana’ he was a former BC lacrosse player who sacrificed his life to rescue more than a dozen others in the south tower on 9/11 🙏❤️‍🩹

My nine year old daughter came home and brought his name up and I was like “the red bandana guy” and she proceeded to tell me his story 🥺 schools are teaching children about him guys

in a nation full of red hats, I wear a red bandana.

I’ll never forget the interview with his mom saying one day he said “one day I’m going to change the world with this red bandana” because his dad always told him to carry one and that’s how they knew the stories were about him 😭

The interview when his parents talked about reading the article for the first time, and knowing the people saying that a man with a red bandana saved their lives, they immediately knew it was their son 😩🥹

Honoring someone who truly cared and sacrificed himself to protect and save others. These are the tributes that deserve traction and recognition because it is so simple but so meaningful.
