My husband, a firefighter for Sandy Springs, climbed at the Westin today in honor of the 343 men. I am so proud of him and all of the other firefighters who climbed along with him. Thank you all for everything you do.

On 7/21/11 I participated in the Baltimore stair climb at Firehouse EXPO. I climbed in honor of firefighter Christopher Blackwell of Rescue 3. Christopher grew up in New Fairfield approximately 15 minutes from where I live and although before my time I believe was also involved in the fire service in Connecticut.

It was an honor to climb in memory of the 343 brothers lost on 9/11. The camaraderie and brotherhood shown in Baltimore was amazing. It was an experience I'll always remember.

Never forget. 343 9/11/01

I had the extreme honor of climbing on a team with Hope's husband and son, who awed me with their dedication to participate in full gear. Thank you to them for letting me be a part of their station family that day. Before the climb, I was scared of what I was in for (as I imagine all those men were that terrible day). But everyone was so supportive of each other during the climb. We cheered on participants from other teams as much as we cheered on each other. Although I was not able to carry the photos of any of the FDNY personnel I knew personally, as they had all already been distributed by the time I was given a picture, I proudly carried the memory of Louis Modafferi from Rescue 5 with me through the entire climb. I drew my strength from him and from my other angel in heaven, my cousin Mark Falkenhan, a firefighter killed in the line of duty in January. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in such a profound experience. This may have been my first memorial stair climb, but I am certain it will not be my last.

On July 21, 2011, I supported my son and my husband who made the climb together at the Firehouse Expo. I was so touched by the overwhelming brotherhood of the men and women paying tribute to the firefighters we lost on 9/11/01. To the families of the fallen, please know that hereos are never forgotten, they live in the spirit and will of the comrades left behind. I know my son will forever be connected to Michael Cammarata and do his best to honor Michael's name and memory.
