"Is anyone down there? United States Marines!"

On the morning of September 11, 2001, an unknown United States Marine ran toward the World Trade Center as it collapsed, and spent days climbing dangerous wreckage with a fellow Marine to find any living survivors. He helped locate and rescue two New York policemen trapped under 20 feet of concrete, the story of which you can see in the new Oliver Stone movie, World Trade Center.

Then, without telling anyone who he was, he vanished.

Five years later, after watching a commercial for the movie and seeing himself, he's come forward to identify himself. Just from his actions on Sept. 11, we knew he was a brave man and a testament to the good of America. Now, we know a little more about him, and there's even more to admire.

God bless Sgt. Jason Thomas.
