Today, we remember.
On September 11, 2001, in the midst of unimaginable tragedy, ordinary people showed extraordinary courage.
One of those people was Welles Crowther, a 24-year-old volunteer firefighter who became known as “The Man in the Red Bandana.” Welles helped lead others to safety inside the South Tower of the World Trade Center, returning again and again to help people he had never met.
Twenty-five years later, his story remains a powerful reminder of courage, selflessness, and what it means to put others before yourself.
Today, all of us at Velvet Ice Cream remember Welles, the first responders, the heroes, and all those whose lives were lost or forever changed on September 11, 2001.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸
We encourage you to take a few minutes today to watch Welles’ remarkable story.
