    Participants from U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart Fire Department and surrounding German fire departments ascend stairs during a 9/11 memorial stair climb at the Panzer Hotel, Stuttgart, Germany, Sept. 11, 2025. The event honored the 343 firefighters and other first responders who lost their lives during rescue efforts at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Participants climbed 110 flights of stairs, the equivalent of the Twin Towers, while wearing lanyards bearing the names and stories of fallen heroes. Most participants completed the climb wearing full firefighting gear, weighing approximately 30 pounds, to mirror the conditions faced by firefighters on that tragic day. German firefighters from nearby cities, including Leonberg, Böblingen, and others, joined the tribute in a powerful show of solidarity and remembrance. (Photo by Balmina Sehra)
