Tunnel to Towers: The Legacy of Stephen Siller

Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller was a devoted husband, father, and hero who lived by the words of St. Francis of Assisi: “While we have time, let us do good.” On September 11, 2001, after finishing his shift, he selflessly ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel with 60 lbs. of gear to the Twin Towers, where he gave his life-saving others. His courage and sacrifice continue to inspire, reminding us all to live with purpose and compassion.
