My daughter, Kerry, and I did the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb run by the Raritan Township Fire Company, in Flemington, NJ. We climbed in honor of my husband and Kerry's father, Lt. Michael Quilty of Ladder 11. It was great to see the participant turnout, and even greater to watch the videos of stair climbs around the country. It was so moving to see that everyone remembers his sacrifice, and that of the other firefighters. It makes it so personal when each person climbs in memory of one of the 343. Coincidentally, Kerry was given the number 148, which is the ladder company where Mike worked for most of his career.
