– Kelly PloszayI recently participated in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event tribute to the 343 firefighters who gave their lives during the tragic events at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. I climbed the equivalent of 110 stories—the height of the fallen World Trade Center towers—on the steps of Lambeau Field. I was given a badge with the name and photograph of one of the fallen
– Andrea Garvensfirefighters to symbolically complete the climb with one of the fallen. At the equivalent of the 78th floor of the World Trade Center towers, which is the highest floor firefighters reached on 9/11, each climber rings the fire bell in honor of the fallen firefighter on their badge. I had the honor of climbing in memory of Keith A. Glascoe. To his family, friends and colleagues, I extend my most heartfelt apologies and to Keith, I thank him for his ultimate sacrifice. He is the definition of a true American HERO.
I ran the 2016 NFFF 5k in tribute and remembrance of FF Glascoe, at the Volunteer and Combination Officer Symposium in Clearwater. I keep the identification tag on my shelf in my office to remember the sacrifice given that day and to never forget.
