MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan - U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Kevin A. Campbell, commanding officer for Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron (H&HS), descends a flight of stairs during the 3rd annual stair climb in honor of 9/11 victims at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Sept. 11, 2017. Participants took to climbing 108 flights of stairs as a tribute to all who were involved in the terrorist attack. Firefighter gear, to include boots, pants, a coat, oxygen tanks and bundles of fire hose, was available to participants who dared to take the challenge of suffering through the stair climb in the same gear first responders did. Participants could also carry simulated casualties as they trekked up and down the flights of stairs. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Joseph Abrego)
