Jog for Joe Memorial 5K
Clear

News Comments Updated
Staff Sgt. Bryan Souder runs beside fellow participants in the Jog for Joe Memorial 5K June 20, 2014, at the base track at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. Nearly 500 Airmen and their families participated in the run to commemorate the loss of Staff Sgt. Joseph Hamski, a 52nd CES explosive ordnance disposal flight technician, who was killed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom May 26, 2011. Souder is a firefighter assigned to the 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Joe W. McFadden) Remembering Joe: Spangdahlem AB Airmen participate in memorial 5k
As firefighters began putting on their dense flame-retardant gear, a group of explosive ordnance disposal Airmen arrived next to them, slipping their arms through the thick sleeves of their protective suits. Their appearance upon completion looked not unlike bundled-up children who couldn't move their arms before braving harsh snow on the walk to the school bus. But it's not winter, it's June, and the more than 50 pounds of extra clothing only exacerbates the wearer's internal temperature, let alone limits her or his movement. Despite all this, these Airmen weren't about to put out a fire or respond to a bomb threat -- they were doing it all to honor a fallen brother.
