As we honor those heroes and victims of the 9/11 attack on this 25th anniversary, let us take a moment of silence in their memory and for the loved ones they have left behind.
On Tuesday August 31, 2021, I was afforded the privilege and honor of meeting Frank Siller, CEO of Tunnel to Towers Foundation and walking with him briefly on his Never Forget Walk. On September 11, 2001 Frank’s brother Stephen, a NYFD firefighter, responded to the World Trade Center and was one of the heroes lost that day to the terrorist attack. Stephen left a wife and five children.
To honor Stephen’s memory and those who lost their lives that day, Frank started the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The foundation pays off the mortgages or provides homes to families of fallen first responders and military. To date the foundation has closed on over 1700 homes.
Frank was taking part in a six-week walk from the Pentagon to the World Trade Center. He concluded his 537-mile trek on September 11, 2021 marking the 20th anniversary of the attack.
Attached is the link to the Tunnel to Towers website. I encourage those of you, who are able to, donate to this most worthy cause.
