"Saw a pretty amazing thing tonight at the gym. This firefighter was on the stair climber in full equipment, including his mask & oxygen tank. After about a half hour, I saw him finishing & taking his gear off so I went over to tell him how much I respected what he was doing.1/

"I figured he was training for a firefighter exam, but when I commented on it, he said, "110 floors! Took me 30 minutes, 10 seconds." 110 floors...OMG. It's September 11 and he had just climbed the equivalent of 110 floors like the firefighters did in the World Trade Center.2/

"Apparently, this is a tradition that many firefighters do to honor the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty that day. It's a helluva tribute!" #110floors #september11 #neverforget From Dan Panzik. x/

Addendum: I know this is a few days past the right date, but I thought its message and sentiment was timeless.
