On September 11, 2001, 24-year-old equities trader and volunteer firefighter Welles Crowther was working on the 104th floor of the South Tower. Instead of saving himself, he put on a red bandana and repeatedly went back into the smoke to lead others to safety—saving as many as 18 lives before making the ultimate sacrifice. Now, 25 years later, President Trump has awarded Welles Crowther America’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Join host Kathleen Lee on News Planet as we honor the "Man in the Red Bandana" and the untold acts of heroism that defined that tragic day.
