Stephen's Story
Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller was the youngest of seven children born to Mae and George Siller. At the age of eight, Stephen lost his father, and a year and a half later his mother passed away, leaving him an orphan to be raised by his older siblings. For a while Stephen went through a period of struggle, but thanks to the love of his siblings, and the values instilled in him by his parents, he grew up to be an extraordinary individual and dedicated firefighter. More than most, he knew that time was precious and accomplished much in his 34 years.
On September 11, 2001, Stephen, who was assigned to Brooklyn’s Squad 1, had just finished his shift and was on his way to play golf with his brothers when he got word over his scanner of a plane hitting the North Tower of the World Trade Center. READ MORE

LFL with Frank Siller
Tunnel to Towers Foundation Chairman and CEO Frank Siller shares how the Foundation formed in loving memory of his little brother, Stephen Siller, a New York City Fire Department (FDNY) firefighter who gave his life on 9/11.
Frank recalls the morning of September 11th, he and his brothers were getting ready to play a round of golf. Stephen, a member of FDNY’s Squad 1 in Brooklyn, had just finished a night tour and was on his way home to meet up with his three brothers. Frank recalls seeing the first plane strike the North Tower. READ MORE
