Today I took the kids out of school to support Jon climbing for one of the fallen fire fighters from the 9/11 attack back in 2001. I remember I was at BYU just coming home from a class and saw the news on the TV. Sad. 343 fire fighters died that day trying to save lives, there were many more dead that day. Every year they climb the Renaissance Tower 4 times in downtown Sacramento which equals the same amount of stairs of the Twin Towers that fell in New York. At the top if the 4th climb they place the name of the fire fighter they climbed for in a twin tower replica. This year Jon climbed for Fire Fighter John D. Marshall and was able to do it with his whole crew.
**John D. Marshall was a 35 year old firefighter for the FDNY on Engine 23. He lived in Congers, New York and worked at Ladder 27, near where his father had served as a police officer. He was doing a rotation on Engine 23 on September 11th. He had a wife and two children.
