Today on the 19th Anniversary of September 11th I had the privilege and honor to lead the men of The Fort in my version of the Tower Climb.
We honored my friends who gave it all to make sure the citizens of NY would be safe.
POLICE OFFICER RAMON SUAREZ TD-04 NYPD
POLICE OFFICER MARK ELLIS TD-04 NYPD
POLICE OFFICER ANTONIO RODRIGUES PAPD
We started with a two lap ruck walk around the track and then jumped right into the climb.
The goal was at least 30 times up and down with 9 inclined merkins and 11 squats at the bottom. There was some mumblechatter, it was hot and humid but the men of the Fort did not disappoint….if you completed 27.5 times you climbed the equivalent of the Towers.
I was proud to lead and share my experiences from that fateful morning that changed the world as we knew it.
It was also great seeing DIRTY HARRY return to the gloom
We end with COT and prayers for all the people lost and the people affected still.
FIDELIS AD MORTEM…..ALWAYS FAITHFUL
