Summary
Frank Siller and relatives will privately retrace Stephen Siller's route through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel before joining hundreds of supporters at FDNY Ten House for the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
60 pounds of gear marked Stephen Siller's final run on Sept. 11, 2001, after the tunnel was closed and the off-duty firefighter continued on foot toward the Twin Towers, where he died saving others.
The walk will close Tunnel to Towers' "Steel Across America" tour, which has traveled since May carrying Siller's story and a 21-foot beam from the South Tower nationwide.
Since its founding, the charity says it has provided more than 1,700 mortgage-free homes and aided over 20,000 homeless veterans; this year it also launched a 343 Homes Initiative honoring the 343 firefighters killed on 9/11.
