"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& #39;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& #39;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.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
