Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, military-connected students from the Office of Veteran Success at USF St. Petersburg joined first responders, veterans, and service members at Al Lang Stadium for the Tampa Bay Rowdies’ annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.
Together they climbed 2,200 stairs — 110 stories — in honor of the first responders who ran toward danger that morning, the lives lost in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania, and the families forever changed.
We will never forget. Thank you to the Tampa Bay Rowdies for hosting this tribute.
