- Historical Notes
-
Bryan Stern was commuting to his World Trade Center office as the attacks began. The U.S. Army corporal and military counterintelligence operative hoped to use his training in the U.S. Army and experience as a volunteer firefighter to aid in the evacuation. In 2021, during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Stern founded Grey Bull Rescue, which helps extract civilians from war zones and natural disaster areas.
Grey Bull Rescue has conducted over 600 missions worldwide, often while wearing protective equipment like this vest.
