– Anthony ManiscalcoIt was a hot smokey day in California today- perfect for carrying your beautiful picture up 110 flights of stairs. You could not get out that day so I carried you to the top. It was my honor to have you in my thoughts while climbing, but I wish you could have gotten out. I wish you could have had your life. I will not forget your sacrifice and that of your family.

Martini, today I did the 9/11 Stair-climb at the Salt River Field in Arizona with your picture on a badge pinned to my chest. 85 minutes and 1200 calories later, I completed the stair-climb in honor of you and your service. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. You are never forgotten.
