 | Stephen's StoryStephen Gerard Siller overcame early hardships to become a dedicated firefighter. On September 11, 2001, after his shift, he ran through the closed Brooklyn Battery Tunnel with 60 lbs. of gear to help at the Twin Towers, sacrificing his life to save others. A devoted husband and father, Stephen lived by St. Francis of Assisi’s words: “While we have time, let us do good.” His heroism remains a lasting symbol of courage and compassion. |
