Trump posthumously honors 9/11 hero with Medal of Freedom
President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to hero Welles Crowther at an event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, quipping that he didn’t like that Crowther has become “much more famous than me.” Known as the “Man in the Red Bandana,” Crowther led people to safety at the World Trade Center’s South Tower before he died in its collapse.
