POW/MIA
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Ricardo Malan, 35th Civil Engineer Squadron assistant fire chief of operations, gives a speech during the 2016 POW/MIA and 9/11 remembrance ceremony at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Sept. 9, 2016. “Fifteen years ago, on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, at 8:46 a.m., terrorists started a series of coordinated suicide attacks against the United States,” Malan said. “Today, we remember those lost on Sept. 11, 2001, and honor the selfless acts of courage of the 343 firefighters, 65 law enforcement officers and 15 emergency medical technicians who gave their lives that fateful day.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Brittany A.
