Fort Stewart firefighters prepare to lead Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division on a 5K run during the annual Patriot Day Run, Sept. 9 on Fort Stewart. Soldiers, family members, veterans, Department of Defense civilians and guests ran to honor the thousands of lives that were lost during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Penn. The run was also held in memory of the Dogface Soldiers who lost their lives during the subsequent Global War on Terrorism.
