Crowther, unknown to the strangers he rescued, was wearing a red bandana over his nose and mouth during the horrific moments.On Tuesday, President Trump posthumously honored Crowther with the Presidential Medal of Freedom while commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.Trump welcomed Welles’ mother, Allison, and his sister, Paige, to receive the Medal of Freedom on his behalf.The Eagles honor Welles’ bravery annually with special uniforms that pay homage to the red bandana and featuring “For Welles” on the nameplate of every player’s jersey.This year, they will be wearing white jerseys with the red bandana design on their sleeves.WHITE OUT pic.twitter.com/5JQesuRaUv— Boston College Football (@BCFootball) September 7, 2026The post Rutgers University and Boston College Unveil Special Uniforms Honoring Victims of September 11 Terrorist Attacks appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
