Marines and firefighters climbed the training tower

Marines and firefighters climbed the training tower during a 9/11 remembrance climb aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Sept. 9, 2015, to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11. Participants included Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting, the Provost Marshal's Office and the Special Reaction Team Marines with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, Fuel Division Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, and Japanese firefighters. Each participant carried with them a photo of a fallen firefighter as they climbed the training towers 18 times for a total of 110 floors, the same amount of floors as the twin towers.
