This is my first time to join the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb held at Green Bay, Wisconsin, this event commemorates the brave first responders and firefighters during that event. It is a very difficulty job and I salute and thank these men & women who have served selflessly to keep this country great. Climbing the steps made me realize how bless I am. Again thank you and God speed!
– DinabelI attended the 5th Annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event this past weekend in Green Bay, Wisconsin and it was an honor to climb those stairs in memory of Joseph. I not only climbed to the equivalent of the 78th floor, but then chose to keep climbing in honor of him. I wish to one day visit the 9/11 memorial in New York City and find your name again on the memorial. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
“I climbed because they climbed.”
