Remembering 911 Through Stair Climbs | Birmingham News

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Orange Beach first responders honored the fallen with a powerful stair climb, climbing 110 floors in tribute to the 343 firefighters, 23 police officers, and 37 Port Authority workers who perished. Each climber wore a lanyard with a photo and name of a victim, ringing a bell in their honor after each ascent. Firefighter Letson May, in full gear, spoke of pushing through, fueled by the courage of those heroes. Participants reflected on how the attacks reshaped their lives and the national unity that followed — a spirit many now hope to reclaim. The event wasn’t just about steps, but about remembering sacrifice, honoring resilience, and reigniting a collective sense of community and patriotism.
