[@sophiescalzitti]

Welles Crowther was a true hero. I was not alive during 9/11 but I have heard about him and everything that happened that day.

[@300andDeadStraight]

His duty to help was stronger than the instinctual need to self-preserve. Very noble.

If you think all hero’s need to be in seal team 6, you haven’t heard of Wells Crowther

[@nikolaip5834]

i think the 'regular' citizen heroes are the most courageous of all. no training, no mental prep, just pure good hearted human instinct.

My history teacher knows Welles parents (the man in the red bandana)

[@TheConorsmithusa]

He still never mentioned his name.. I knew what his name was, but still they should have said it

[@lsorange460]

If you think that you need to be in the New York City Fire Department, then you have obviously never heard of the Wells Crowther Department.

[@cyanidesweetz7008]

I still cry thinking about 9-11,I was only 16 when it happened it still breaks my heart to hear or see anything about it

Mr. Obama and Crowther Welles stand for real american values. Hurts to see what the Trump administration did to this country. Compassion gone.
