Yesterday marked the 12th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. I have heard and read articles and documentaries of what happened from eyewitnesses' perspectives and experts who have tried to explain exactly what happened and why. In the midst of all of this, it is easy to just pay attention to the evil that happened that day, which is rightfully so: 9/11 was one of the worse days in our nation's history, and we should never, ever, forget what happened, as well as always remember the thousands of innocent lives that were taken that day. I came across a ESPN documentary on a former Boston College lacrosse player who was working in the South Tower that day. It goes on to describe his heroic actions that day, and how he sacrificed his life to save the lives of others. This man, Welles Crowther, exemplifies the good that is inside humanity; how even in the days when our world is collapsing around us and when there seems to be no hope left, the good in people can stand out and help others, no matter the sacrifice they have to make.This weekend, fans are asked to wear red bandanas to the Boston College- Central Florida football game in Orlando, in honor of Welles Crowther and in remembrance of those who died that fateful day.
