Under the auburn glow of Honolulu streetlights, eight Marines in boots and camouflage trousers donned packs chock-full of fluids, food and 65 pounds of gear made their way to the starting line at the 2010 Honolulu Marathon, Dec. 12, 2010. For the second year in a row, the Marines, primarily from Aircraft Rescue Firefighting, Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, hiked the 26.3-mile marathon to raise money for wounded Marines and sailors at Wounded Warrior Battalion West — Detachment Hawaii. “At first, people looked at us like we were crazy,” said Chicago native Sgt. Fernando Camacho, a firefighter with ARFF. “But when they realized why were hiking — to help out those who couldn’t because of the pain they had endured — the looks on their faces changed. That made it well worth it.”
