While the island was focused on Tropical Storm Bebinca, which passed the Marianas as a tropical depression on Wednesday, those who died in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon 23 years ago were remembered and honored by military personnel. Federal fire and emergency services personnel paid tribute with a symbolic stair climb at the Charles King Fitness Center, according to JRM. “The firefighters participated in 15-minute interval shifts beginning at 8:46 a.m., marking the time that Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center’s North Tower. Each firefighter carried gear upwards of 40 pounds in honor of the fallen,” JRM said in a post on its website. On Naval Base Guam, personnel from various military commands also participated in the MWR 9/11 Remembrance 5K Run and Ruck event.
