Kaysville Fire – Remembering Everyone Deployed (R.E.D.)

Oct 05, 2021 09:36AM ● By Cindi Mansell

Members of the Kaysville Fire Department “A” shift wore commemorative T-shirts and participated in a “stair climb” on exercise equipment equal to the 110 stories of the World Trade Center.

Kaysville Fire recently announced that “effective immediately, our firefighters will be wearing red uniform shirts every Friday that say, ‘Remember Everyone Deployed.’ This is a simple gesture of gratitude from Kaysville Fire to honor the U.S. military service men and women who are deployed around the world.

"We carry the message to national levels serving all branches of the Armed Forces and their families, showing our military that although far away, they are not forgotten,” is the mission statement of the Remember Everyone Deployed (R.E.D.) Organization

Each 9/11, Memorial Stair Climb participants pay tribute to a FDNY (New York City Fire Department) firefighter by climbing or walking the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. 

“Your individual tribute not only remembers the sacrifice of an FDNY brother, but symbolically completes their heroic journey to save others,” said the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. “Through firefighter and community participation we ensure that each of the 343 firefighters is honored and that the world knows that we will never forget.” 

The entirety of Kaysville Fire Department’s “A” shift participated in this climb on September 11 to remember the fallen from 20 years ago.
