– Waleska MontanezI’ve done the 9/11 stair climb twice in my life. Once 5 years ago and yesterday, 9/11/2021. I feel like it’s a little fate or maybe Shawn just saying hi, one veteran to another. Maybe he was there just pushing me to do my best because that climb is insane. I say that because I got his remembrance card at both climbs. If his family sees this…I’m so sorry for your loss.

I attached that badge to my hiking backpack and taken him on every big hike I’ve been on since. I like to think in a way he’s made it to the top of mountains with me, and it’s my way of never forgetting.
