00:06.616 --> 00:07.744
- [Narrator] People on Misawa Air Base

00:07.744 --> 00:10.577
climbed 110 floors for one reason:

00:10.635 --> 00:12.221
to honor those who did not survive

00:12.221 --> 00:15.138
the events of September 11th, 2001.

00:15.479 --> 00:17.641
Everyone there had different people in mind

00:17.641 --> 00:19.728
while they took each step.

00:19.728 --> 00:23.061
- I think about just the civilians that were affected.

00:23.061 --> 00:26.012
There was a lady that, I don't remember her name,

00:26.012 --> 00:28.246
but she was in the World Trade Center that day,

00:28.246 --> 00:29.663
just for one day.

00:29.669 --> 00:31.107
She knew she wasn't getting out.

00:31.107 --> 00:33.856
She called and left a message on her husband's phone.

00:33.856 --> 00:36.014
They had two kids and said, "Hey, I love you.

00:36.014 --> 00:37.510
"I'm not gonna make it out.

00:37.510 --> 00:38.343
"Take care of the kids."

00:38.343 --> 00:41.373
And that happened to so many people that day.

00:41.373 --> 00:43.542
- [Narrator] The event not only commemorated the fallen,

00:43.542 --> 00:45.443
but also raised over a grand for

00:45.443 --> 00:48.135
the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation.

00:48.135 --> 00:50.870
Climbers wore lanyards for each fallen firefighter

00:50.870 --> 00:54.120
from that day, a total of 343 lanyards.

00:54.342 --> 00:55.638
Staff Sergeant Candace Harris,

00:55.638 --> 00:57.280
Misawa Air Base, Japan.
