A participant in previous years, Sergeant Baber said the Sept. 11 run is a cathartic experience as the somber mood of the ceremony turns into a high-energy run. “I’m sad for the people who paid the ultimate price,” he said. “It’s amazing the transformation. All of a sudden you’re fired up, ready to go, because you’re proud to be an American. The next thing you know your commander is in front of you, your first sergeant and your squadron members, all running as one team.” The first sergeant encourages Airmen to arrive in their PT uniform and to hydrate to ensure a successful run. The formation run is open to military only, while anyone with base access can attend the memorial ceremony. Parking for the run is available at the parade field, 37th TRW headquar- ters, the Gateway Club and Mitchell Hall. For more information about the run, call Sergeant Baber at 671-3909.
