When Frank Siller lost his younger brother Stephen on 9/11, he made a promise: to honor his sacrifice and make sure no hero is ever forgotten. In this powerful Arroyo Grande episode, Frank shares the deeply personal story behind the founding of Tunnel to Towers—from growing up in a tight-knit, faith-filled family to the moment Stephen ran toward the Twin Towers and never came home.

What began as a tribute 5K has grown into one of America’s most impactful charitable organizations. Tunnel to Towers now builds mortgage-free smart homes for injured veterans, pays off the homes of fallen first responders, and provides permanent housing and services for thousands of homeless vets across the country. Frank reveals the moments—both miraculous and hard-fought—that shaped this mission and continue to fuel it today.

As we approach Memorial Day, this episode is a stirring reminder of what selfless service looks like—and what we owe those who give everything. Support the mission at T2T.org 🇺🇸
