There are other links we could add about this person: NNDB, other veteran web sites, but I will refrain for the moment. He was a real American hero. -- 67.121.112.80 13:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure what's up with what currently reads "In 1943, Hayle served as headquarters for the 175th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. 29th Infantry Division, largely composed of soldiers from Maryland and Virginia, which was preparing for a tour in Vietnam. Young Rescorla idolized the American soldiers." This has been altered with both 1963 and 1943 used as dates and "the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe" in place of "a tour in Vietnam". I know of no US Army divisions which staged in England for a tour in Vietnam, in 1943 or 1963, so this should definitely be fact-checked and cleaned up.

The image File:We Were Soldiers Once...and Young.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

The link to the video called "The Voice of the Prophet" no longer works. Does anyone have an updated or alternative link to the video? Isa alcala ( talk) 18:15, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The Time magazine article says there are 13 deaths ("When the tower collapsed, only 13 Morgan Stanley colleagues--including Rescorla and four of his security officers--were inside.", I assume non of the 13 survived), as this article -refering to the Time magazine- says 6 persons died (all but 6 of Morgan Stanley's 2700 WTC employees survived). Is my assumption wrong or is there a mistake? -- Rcsmit ( talk) 00:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Not everybody inside the buildings were killed during the collapse. 79.73.211.130 ( talk) 01:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Heart of a Soldier by James B. Stewart, is about Rescorla. An interested editor ought to incorporate this reference into the article.-- S. Rich ( talk) 17:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
The "Early life" section appear very Amero-centric - for example, not even naming the British boxer that Mauriello fought. There are a couple of other places too. Lord British ( talk) 16:25, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
This edit [4] added names and removed a source. Is there a source for all of these names? Jesanj ( talk) 17:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
I know it's the 1960s but how did Rescorla enlist? Does the US Army have something of the French Foreign Legion about it? Could you just sign up as long as you were wanted? What did he do with his British citizenship? He couldn't have been a naturalised American citizen at that point?
This part of his life is just as interesting as his bravery on 9/11. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.178.70 ( talk) 20:40, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Changing the words of 'Men of Harlech' to say Cornwall instead of Harlech doesn't make it a Cornish song, it's a Welsh song. 31.52.160.196 ( talk) 01:47, March 31, 2013
The UK and US military career material constitutes three paragraphs and two lines, which fits neatly into one section. The material on his service for each of those two countries is not large enough to justify two separate sections. Corbynz disagrees, and insists that they be two different sections, because Rescorla's service for the two countries need to be individually distinguished via individual sections. What do the other editors here think? Nightscream ( talk) 23:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
"Rescorla’s family was of Celtic descent, like much of the original ethnic population of Cornwall."
Can someone point out where that's sourced, please? Thanks. Not entirely sure of its relevance either, or what the "original ethnic population" of Cornwall might mean. I'd be interested to know exactly how anyone could trace their family back to the Celts. Bretonbanquet ( talk) 00:29, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
His rank is given as Colonel in the information box. I can't find where in the article it says he was a colonel. Also, it says that he served in the US military until 1990, but the article contradicts that, saying that he left the military after Vietnam. NotYourFathersOldsmobile ( talk) 01:28, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
The textbook on criminal justice which he supposedly authored does not show up on the usual search engines. Surely this needs a citation. NotYourFathersOldsmobile ( talk) 10:37, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
The article says his name is Cyril Richard Rescorla. The picture of his name at the memorial says his name is Richard Cyril Rescorla. I just wanted to draw attention to this issue. If his name is wrong on the memorial, perhaps that information should be added to the image caption.
