Photos – 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs, Services, and Other Events (70 Photos/12 Videos)

I asked for pictures of you participating in 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs, Memorial Services, and other events. WOW…you guys kept me busy keeping up. I certainly hope I didn’t miss any submissions. I also included 12 of the dozens of videos available on Youtube.

All I really have to say is thank you all for representing the fire service in remembering our Fallen Brothers and all who died that day. Your preservation of memorial events will help younger Americans and others in remembering and learning about what happened on September 11, 2001. #RFB

Alaska

We are the Eareckson Air Station Fire Department, located on Shemya Island, Alaska. We are THE westernmost US fire department in the nation. We only have 9 firefighters on the island at any given time, with 18 in the whole department. It just goes to show that no matter how small the department, or how few stairs you have available in your jurisdiction, you can still find a way to honor our fallen brothers.

This was in honor of Stephen Siller a FDNY firefighter off duty on 9-11 who heard the call, cancelled his golf game and went back in to duty, when he got to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel the traffic was stopped, so he strapped on all his gear and ran the 2+ miles through the tunnel to the WTC where he died that day.

9/10 should be a day to remember how precious life is and that tomorrow might be the last. 9/11 should be a stark reminder how quickly we can lose it all. And 9/12 should be a day when you remember what it felt like to be an American, to reach out to a stranger, to help those in need without thinking of yourself, to be unified as “us” not “me”.

 Baltimore, MD Climb

Taken at the Baltimore Stair Climb last year. His name is Ivan, and he’s a firefighter at Station 55 in Jackson, NJ. The guys from this station carry their station flag with them every year as they climb, then raise it when they reach the top on their final lap. I am honored to have climbed twice as part of their team.
