Today, we remember and honor all those who were killed on September 11, 2001 and all those who have given their lives in service of this nation in the twenty-one years since by giving a shout out to one of my favorite organizations and its signature event.
On September's final Sunday, as it has done annually on the final Sunday of September since 2002, the Tunnel to Towers New York City 5K will step off on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and wind its way through Lower Manhattan until it finishes at the new World Trade Center.
The Siller Family, which established the Tunnel To Towers Foundation in the wake of the death of their youngest sibling, Stephen, a FDNY firefighter, better exemplifies having turned something profoundly horrible into something profoundly helpful than any family or anything with which I am or have ever been familiar.
Run. Walk. Honor.
