Officer Amoroso and family,
Officer Amoroso and family, Although I have never met you your picture and story was mentioned during a meeting that I was at in Quantico Virginia. I was taken away by your heroic actions on September 11th 2001. As a native of New Jersey I also remember that day as if it just happened. My father was just a few blocks away during the terrorist attack. Currently serving as an active duty Marine please know that your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Having been to Iraq and deploying to Afghanistan in October understand that it is heroes like you that make it an honor and privilege to serve this great nation. As my wife and I just recently had our first child I can assure you that he will hear the story of Officer Amoroso. We will never forget. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Semper Fi.

Today in San Diego I climbed
Today in San Diego I climbed Stairs for the 911 Memorial Stair Climb. This is the first time I participated in this event. We all were given a name and photo to wear in memory. I wore Christopher Amoroso. I went home and researched this amazing man. I was so touched by his story and his letter to his daughter. I wanted you to know I am so honored to have been given this name today to climb for. I will share this story with all my friends and pass on the memory of Christopher. Never Forget!

Yesterday I ran at the Patriot Run 5k in memory of the 9/11 victims. I wore a bib with Christopher Amoroso's name on it, and hadn't realized just how amazing this young man was. I already had a foundation of awe and gratitude with his sacrifice, but having read more about his life and accomplishments, I've grown more aware and grateful for having had people like him in this world. Thank you, Christopher - a million times over.

Officer Amoroso, I never knew you, but your story found me and stuck with me. I’m so grateful for what you did that day and for the person you were before it. I’ll remember you every September 11 from now on. You are loved. You are remembered. You are never forgotten.

In honor of Christopher - mile 62
After the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I saw an Instagram post of someone running a mile for each life lost. I was inspired and so now I am hiking a mile to honor the lives lost on that day, a day to never forget and lives to never forget.
On 10/31/2026, I hiked a mile in honor of Christopher Charles Amoroso.
I read tributes, articles, and the beautiful letter Christopher wrote to his daughter. “I want you to know that I consider myself the luckiest man to ever walk the face of this earth. If anything were to happen to me, I could honestly say I've known true love and happiness in my life. I've known that because of your mother and now you." I’m so glad he was blessed to feel this way, but I am sorry that it was for such a short time.
God bless Christopher and his loved ones.
