Robert Houghes, the victim on the boy's shirt, was 23 years old. Houghes, a margins clerk at Bank of America, assisted an elderly woman down the stairs from the 83rd floor when the plane hit the tower. He was last seen by co-workers on the bottom floor of the towers before debris started coming down. Photo by John Angelillo/UPI
