Twenty-five years to the day after FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller ran through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel toward the World Trade Center, the 9/11 WTC steel traveled through that same tunnel.
Stephen had already finished his shift when he learned the towers had been struck. Unable to drive through the closed tunnel, he continued on foot toward Lower Manhattan, where he gave his life while helping others.
Retracing his path on September 11 brought the story at the heart of Tunnel to Towers back to where it began.

We also recognize those still facing the lasting health impacts of that day. At Tunnel to Towers, honoring their sacrifice is not just a mission; it’s our promise. We will Never Forget.
FDNY Chaplain Msgr. Jamie J. Gigantiello blesses a 21-foot steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center's South Tower, which is on display at the White House today as part of @Tunnel2Towers's "Steel Across America" tour:
"Lord, we now ask you to bless this beam — once part of a structure that fell now becomes a structure of memory, a foundation upon which we build something stronger. Let it symbolize courage, sacrifice, unity, and hope. Let every mark upon this steel remind us of a life, a soul, a human person. Let every bend remind us of courage. Let every inch of it remind us that from the greatest darkness, people can choose to bring forth light." 🙏🇺🇸
As we approach the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is embarking on the most comprehensive commemoration in our history—one that honors the past, serves those in need today, and educates the generations of tomorrow.
