Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Today (4-6-24), my wife and her friend played in a T2T Pickleball Tournament in Oldsmar. Fl. The tournament was sponsored by Tunnels to Towers foundation. Each player had the honor to “pick” a fallen hero and play in their memory. She chose PO Christopher Amoroso, PAP Special Operations Bureau. She felt so honored to play for him and remember his sacrifice. She is a retired Maryland State Trooper so it really means something.

Happened across a picture of you saving lives that day. You put duty to your fellow man above your own life, as you swore to do. Promises made and promises kept. You're a good man, and may your ultimate sacrifice never be forgotten brother.

David Wood posted this on face book about your picture helping a woman out. May God bless your family.
"I saw this officer's Nike gloves and thought of the irony behind Nike's recent Colin Kaepernik "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything" add they put out several months ago.

His name is Christopher Amoroso, and this photo was taken just prior to his fourth trip back into tower #2 where he died leaving behind a wife and newborn. THIS is a hero who believed in something and sacrificed everything."

My parish posted a listing of the names of the victims of 9/11 with a request to choose someone and remember them in prayer. Before I opened the list, I chose #66, the year I was born.

Christopher Amoroso

Googled your name and found it here. I am truly humbled by your heroic efforts. We share the same name and you were born in 1972, the year I lost my dad. Chris, with tears in my eyes, I pray for your family, your friends, those you saved because you put their lives ahead of your own, those that are inspired by your life and I pray in thanksgiving for you. You are not forgotten. May you have Eternal Rest and may Perpetual Light shine upon you. Well done, good and faithful servant!

Chris, A few days after the attack I was able to see your wife & then baby daughter, she's a big girl now. Nothing prepared them for this, nothing could. its 9/10/16 and I am thinking of you and your family and I'm sure most Americans are in one form or another. Tonight and tomorrow will be like any other day, I will pray for them all, and for you. Go Bless & keep you in his loving arms.

A gentle giant of a man... I never met Chris but I know his story and he lives on as his story is told. I have the news photo of Chris helping a woman from the Towers on his second trip out. He went back in to rescue more people and did not return. This is a story I tell at every police academy class and college course I present. Thank you for your service sir.

In the days following 9/11 a local jeweler in my hometown was moved to find a way to honor the memory of the fallen first responders/help their families. They chose to have necklaces/bracelets made with charms that had the name of police officers/firefighters on them to be worn as a memorial. I purchased one of the bracelets and the name on my charm was Christopher Amoroso. From that day forward I have tried to be diligent to pray for your family as well lift up your name in gratitude for the countless lives you got to safety, not sparing your own. Thank you Chris for your compassion and bravery. Fly high. There will be many stars in your crown.

Chris, I did not know your story. I got a spot to climb in the Dallas 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb in September 2014. I am trying to learn as much as I can about you so it's not "just a picture" around my neck. My friends have helped me raise over $3,000 dollars to go to the NLEOMF. I promise to do my best. I truly believe you will know what I am doing and hope you will be looking down smiling buddy. I will climb because Chris climbed.
