  1. The story has nothing to do with the firefighter pictured above. Manuel Delvalle jr was killed on September 11, 2001 in the Twin Towers at The World Trade Center. You guys may want to look into the account for the aforementioned, Tommy DeAngelis to see if they stories are just simply swapped.

  6. I hiked the colorado red rocks 9/11 stairclimb with manuel’s id tag back in 2015, but somehow lost his tag after the event. Ot turns out that one of our dept members is cousins with Manuel and i had really wanted to give her his tag. At this year’s 2018 stairclimb at red rocks, i found someone who finished the climb with Manuel’s tag and he gave it to me, it meant a lot to be able to finally present it Manuel’s relative.

  24. On September 7, 2024, I climbed the Pierce Memorial Stair climb: 110 stories at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI in honor of this man. Although the climb was tiring and my legs hurt for days on end, I only could imagine the pain that Manuel and his family suffered that day. My heart goes out to the family and friends of those who lost loved ones that day, but especially to Manuel’s. I am 42 years old and to think of the bravery of this young man at the age of only 32 shows how much he loved this country and fellow firefighters. May he rest in peace yet and know that we will remember him each year with this climb.

  27. I was told from when I was about 6 years old, you would take me on to the fire truck to learn all about it. You saw I was scared and you came and kept me company. From that point on, I always stopped to talk with you and you always gave me your time. My mom started putting flowers at your station after 9/11. And today I kept the tradition going for over 20 years.

    God bless your family.
    God bless the FDNY.
    And thank you to all the firefighters and first responders in the world.

    – Haris
  28. Growing up I have seen your photo in many different households. I have seen photos of you on social media from family members. Even a picture of you in a family members house in Puerto Rico. I look forward to having the honor to carry your photo for the 9/11 memorial stair climb in Green Bay, Wisconsin I have read that the last time people saw you. You had an oxygen tank in a stairwell helping somebody. I will be in full bunker gear with a SCBA and an oxygen tank
