In the past, I have climbed for Firefighter Andrew A. Fredericks (squad 18), Firefighter Ruben D. Correa (engine 74), Martin McWilliams (engine 22), Firefighter Durrell V. Pearsall (rescue 4), Firefighter Frank J. Bonomo (engine 230), Firefighter Karl H. Joseph (engine 207), Raymond York (engine 285), and Firefighter Joseph Agnello (ladder 118)

On a chilly Saturday morning Charlotte hosted it's second annual memorial stair climb in honor of the public safety members who paid the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11/2001

This past climb, I carried the cards of Firefighter Andrew A. Fredericks (squad 18) and Firefighter Ruben D. Correa (engine 74).

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation hosts events all over the Nation all year long. This years calendar is beginning to fill up with some of their great events. From 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs, to NASCAR races, to Golf tournaments, and a survivors conference which was just held. The Memorial Weekend will be in October.

This past weekend there were 55 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb events across the Country. Somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 firefighters participated in them. Special thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make them a huge success. Also a huge thanks to the companies who allowed us to climb in their buildings and to all of the businesses who donated water and other things to the climbs!

Here are videos from 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb events held this past weekend from across the Nation. They are in no particular order.
