Let Us Do Good

In commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, the CEO of our country's largest 9/11 nonprofit tells the inspiring story of his heroic brother, his family's mission, and how the generosity of so many continues to fuel their work supporting our nation's heroes and their families. On the morning of September 11, 2001, FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller had just finished his shift and was heading home when he heard the call. Turning his truck around, he drove toward lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center. With the roads closed, Stephen ran through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel carrying sixty pounds of gear on his back, determined to save as many people as he could from the Twin Towers. He never made it home. How does a family cope with such a profound loss—and turn it into a global movement of hope and action? In this moving and inspiring book, Stephen's brother, Frank Siller, tells the powerful story of his family's promise to "do good" in Stephen's name, establishing a nonprofit organization—the Tunnel to Towers Foundation of which he is CEO—that transformed tragedy into triumph by helping those in need.
