Excellent work yesterday by all who participated in FGB4, it was also quite inspiring to see so many CROSSFIT LIC people come over to Virtuosity and support all the athletes and enjoy in Keith and Sam’s Grand Opening event, as well as all that ran today in the tunnel to towers memorial run 5k (tunneltotowers.org) for FDNY Firefighter Steven Sillers. He is a true Hero:
Stephen Siller, beloved husband and father of five, was a firefighter from Squad 1, Park Slope Brooklyn. On 9/11, he was off-duty, and on his way to golf with his 3 older brothers.
When Stephen heard on his scanner that the World Trade Center had been hit, he turned his vehicle around and headed towards the site. When his truck was prohibited from entering the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, typically of him, he raced on foot towards the site with his gear strapped to his back.
He was last seen alive on West and Liberty Streets where he, more than likely, went looking for his Squad, all of whom perished. The Tunnel to Towers Run retraces Stephen’s footsteps on that fateful day.
In running along his path, we honor the memory of all the Firefighters, Police, and EMS workers who performed their duty that day. In running this race, we are reclaiming still another part of the city for all our heroes and for all of those who died on 9/11.
They will never be forgotten!!!
