It Was a great event to come down and volunteer for., I was proud and it was an honor to be apart of this as I was formally (2000-2003) with the New York Guard and put on State Active Duty after 9/11 at .,Our USAF-Civil Air Patrol Senior and Cadet members from New Fairfield,CT and Ridgefield Connecticut did an excellent job on there first time volunteering for this event helping with crowd control.,Most of our USAF-Civil Air Patrol Senior and Cadet members got up at 3:30 am to all meet at the New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department NFVFD at 5am to take the Civil Air Patrol van down to NYC., A group from a New York Squadron was there as well helping us with crowd control at the VIP Stage area., Many thanks goes out to all the volunteers that had helped to make this event possible., I hope that next year that maybe I would get a chance to Volunteer and then run/walk in the event and maybe in full uniform and our PT Uniform., Like many of the Fire Fighters and others., 9/11 A day we all shall never forget.,

The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Run/Walk 2010 which is dedicated to the memory and heroic efforts of Stephen Siller, FDNY., Who On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Stephen Siller was on his way to play golf with his three older brothers when he heard the call on his scanner that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. Stephen turned his truck around and drove toward the mouth of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, which was blocked by abandoned vehicles. Unable to drive anymore, Siller donned 75 pounds of fire gear and ran the mile and a half through the Tunnel. He reached the second Tower just minutes before it collapsed.



Please note these are very breif movie-video clips I put together to show breifly events that took place that day.,
