I participated in a stair climb in Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI on 09/12/2015 in honor of Michael Fracis Lynch. I wore his badge during the climb that mirrored the number of steps to reach the top of the fallen World Trade Centers. Thank you Michael for your service and heroism during the events of 9/11. I will never forget!
– Mike ZiemkeToday I carried the picture of Michael F. Lynch up 110 flights of stairs at the Columbus OH stair climb in the Chase building. I was honored to have his picture with me and to thank him repeatedly for his service and his bravery on that horrific day 15 hrs ago. I will never forget his actions or his face for the rest of my life. Thank you simply isn’t enough
– Julie Silver9/10/16 I climbed the steps of Lambeau Field wearing the badge of Michael Francis Lynch. I wore it with pride. Each step I took I believe he was there helping me get to the end. Bless him for his sacrifice and God Bless his family. I am guessing he wasn’t a Packer fan, but this Packer fan is a fan of his. Always in my heart.
