Firefighter’s 9/11 tower climb: tribute to heroes

A 96th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter, runs up the stairs of the air traffic control tower during the annual 9/11 memorial tower climb at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., Sept. 11. Approximately 45 firefighters climbed 13 flights of steps with a name tag for each of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives 14 years ago. After reaching the top of the air traffic control tower, each name was recited and attached to a commemorative display board. The event closed with traditional bell rings and pauses between each ring to honor the 9/11 heroes. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ilka Cole)
