Key Points

  • Congress is considering a bill to give Frank Siller the Congressional Gold Medal, which is the highest honor the legislative branch can give to an individual. The award recognizes his years of work helping veterans and first responders.
  • After his brother died as a firefighter during the September 11 terrorist attacks, Siller started the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The group is well-known for paying off mortgages for the families of fallen heroes and building custom homes for injured veterans.
  • The bill highlights Siller's efforts to provide housing for homeless veterans and his 255-mile 'Never Forget Walk' in 2021, which honored the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
  • If the bill passes, the U.S. Treasury will design and make a unique gold medal for Siller. The government will also sell bronze copies of the medal to the public to help cover the costs of making the award.
