A 9/11 Memorial Ceremony will be held at Curlew Hills Memory Gardens in Palm Harbor Thursday, September 11 at 10:00 a.m.
Keynote Speaker: Stephen Siller, Jr. from Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Stephen Siller Jr. is the son of FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, who gave his life on September 11, 2001, heroically running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. Raised in the wake of immense loss, Stephen Jr. has dedicated his life to honoring his father’s legacy. From
a young age, Stephen has been deeply embedded in the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, contributing to its growth into a nationally respected organization. As the Foundation’s In-the-Line-of-Duty Program Manager, Stephen works directly with families of fallen first responders, Gold Star families, and catastrophically injured veterans and first responders—those who, like his own family, have faced unimaginable sacrifice.
Mark Wilson, Anchor at FOX Channel 13 TV, will be the Master of Ceremonies.
