September 11 25th Anniversary JBER memorial and stair climb

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Deaton Johnson, a firefighter assigned to the 673d Civil Engineer Squadron, rings a ceremonial bell during a 9/11 memorial ceremony at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 11, 2026. The tradition of ringing the bell, known as the "Striking of the Four Fives," stems from 19th-century fire service protocols to signal a comrade's final return to quarters and pay tribute to fallen first responders.
