Steel Across America Honors 9/11 Sacrifice | Kansas City News

This weekend, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation brings a moving 9/11 traveling exhibit to the Missouri Capitol, featuring firsthand accounts from retired firefighters who were there that day—just as the 25th anniversary looms. Their “Steel Across America” tour will carry a piece of the World Trade Center’s steel across the nation through 2026, honoring the tragedy while connecting communities to history. Founded by the family of firefighter Stephen Siller, who died on 9/11, the foundation also builds mortgage-free homes for veterans and families of fallen first responders—helping over 17,000 homeless vets since 2022. In 2026, they aim to deliver 343 homes, one for each FDNY member lost that day. Chairman Frank Siller reminds us: remembering is vital, but so is continuing their legacy of service and sacrifice.
