A group of McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department first responders participated in climbs to honor those fallen in the terrorist attack on the twin towers in New York and on our nation’s capital on 9/11 in 2001. Some members climbed the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio. Another group climbed the bleachers at the Seguin High School stadium. Participants of both wore full bunker gear and carried oxygen tanks. The purpose was to replicate the heroism of the more than 400 fire fighters and law officers that perished as they tried to save lives that day.
Participants from the McQueeney VFD were
Juan Armenta, Juan Garza, Stephen Talavera, Jonathan Dominguez, Ramon Silva, Michael Hildebrand and Josh Poteet. Great job guys! We’re so proud of you!
