Summary
Frank Siller, CEO of Tunnel 2 Towers, discusses the legacy of the heroic actions done by first responders and ordinary Americans on 9/11. Including his brother, Stephen Siller, a NY firefighter who ran from Brooklyn Battery Tunnel straight to the Twin Towers, ‘where he gave up his life while saving others’.
To commemorate the 20th Anniversary, Siller is participating in the ‘Never Forget Walk’, a 500-miles walk from Washington, D.C. to the site of Ground Zero in NYC to honor the 2,977 who lost their lives on 9/11 and the heroism of first responders, and to bring awareness to 9/11 related illnesses plaguing first responders.
