Scott's View: Remembering 20 years since 9/11/2001

Scott Higgins

Twenty years ago tomorrow on 9/11/2001, we experienced the deadliest terrorist attacks in U.S. history on our home soil. Over 3,000 people died in the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City, Washington DC at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. For many of us, it seems like yesterday. We will never forget that fateful day.

We will never forget the thousands who perished on 9/11, nor will we ever forget Rick Rescorla, whom we honor today as our HeroVet.

Rick has been dubbed the man who predicted 9/11, as he worked tirelessly to protect his fellow employees from an attack on the World Trade Center. He gave his life to save others that day. Rick was a highly decorated U.S. Army veteran, husband and father, cancer survivor, executive, and a hero to us all. Read his inspirational story.

One such narrative unfolded in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, where Retired U.S. Army Maj. Larry Moores etched his name into the annals of valor, culminating in a long-overdue recognition with the Silver Star Medal.

Cover Story: How & Why WeSalute Was Founded 25 Years Ago

WeSalute founders Scott and Lin Higgins have spent a lifetime in the military community, from Scott’s combat service in Vietnam and the service of Lin’s father in WWII, to serving families and veterans through the creation of memorials and parades as part of charitable and government initiatives. It was this lifetime of service that led them to establish WeSalute, originally founded as Veterans Advantage, and to continue giving back.
