Tennessee 911 tribute goes viral

Maryville, Tenn. (WKRN) – While the country remembers the victims of 9/11 on the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, one tribute has gained a lot of attention on Facebook. Lezlie Bauler was working at a gym in Maryville, Tennessee, when a man came in and asked if he could climb 110 sets of stairs fully suited in firefighter gear. He told her he wanted to take the walk on a stair stepper to honor his fallen brothers and sisters who lost their lives in the 9/11 attack. Bauler took a picture of the man and posted it to Facebook. In the post she said, “I am not one to get emotional, but a few tears were shed. Thank you for your services.” At last check, the picture had more than 100,000 shares. https://www.facebook.com/lezlie.bauler.5/posts/1814574845427952
