Defenders reach New York in time for 9/11 anniversary
Staff Sgt. Benjamin Seekell and his military working dog Charlie pause for a moment of rest and reflection in New York Sept. 11, 2011. Seekell and Charlie traveled to Battery Park to witness and participate in the final moments of the Security Forces 9/11 Ruck March to Remember. Both wear the Purple Heart accolades they received after being hit by an improvised explosive device on Mother’s Day outside Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. Seekell lost his left leg and Charlie received shrapnel wounds to his hind quarters. Seekell is a military working dog handler from the 4th Security Forces Squadron and is a native of Charlestown, R.I. (U.S. Air Force photo by 2nd Lieutenant Keavy Rake)
