9/11 Foundation Makes a Run at Providing Mortgage Free Homes to all Fallen and Severely injured Vets and First Responders
Photo by Patrick Emerson Stephen Siller lived life a life of full purpose,, and it didn’t surprise his brothers when he opted out of a family golf outing on September 11, 2001. The call coming in, Stephen refused to let a closed Brooklyn Battery Tunnel impede his flight to ground zero either. The 34 year old firefighter strapped on his heavy gear and huffed his way to the rescue efforts. Unfortunately, Siller did not survive the day. Nonetheless, very little time passed before his family realized that they needed to honor Stephen’s memory. So by December, his six brothers and sisters got 501(c) designation for Tunnels to Towers and aimed to provide mortgage free homes for severely injured vets and families of fallen soldiers and first responders. But an appropriate signature event was needed, and the typical run or golf outing would not do, according to Stephen’s brother and Chairman/CEO Frank Siller.

The ‘Net Worth’ of Legacy & Mickey Markoff’s Vision
This article was previously published by Mickey Markoff on his website. In a world where the measure of success is often quantified by financial metrics, the true essence of 'net worth' can sometimes be overshadowed by the glare of dollar signs. We see this often with the commercialization of holidays. Memorial Day is no exception. Despite its true meaning being that of gratitude and somber reflection upon the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes, the takeaway of the day for many is the store sales. However, one man with a vision set out to change that in the 1990s, and never looked back. Decades later, Mickey Markoff, Executive Producer of the Hyundai Air and Sea Show, now has a diverse team behind him to help carry out that vision. Each year on Memorial Day Weekend, the Hyundai Air and Sea Show unfolds on Miami Beach, redefining the conventional metrics of value and success. The Air and Sea Show, conceived and nurtured by visionary Mickey Markoff, serves as a testament to a different kind of 'net worth'—one measured not in currency, but in honor, gratitude, and national pride for those who dedicate their lives to serving our country.

Unraveling the Distinctive Threads
Introduction: In recent times, chaos unfolded in Iraq as a ruthless gang of ISIS commandos launched a brazen attack on the US Embassy, prompting a swift response from a highly trained thirty-man platoon. This incident raises questions about the differences between the US Marines and the regular Army, often mistakenly interchanged in popular culture. Despite both being integral parts of the US military, the Marines and Army serve distinct roles, each with its unique capabilities and responsibilities.

Thank You, and God Bless America
It was a hot, humid night in late July, and a monsoon was rolling in. There were less than ten of us, sweating around a fire, silent in a way I had never experienced with these people before. There were veterans, active military, kids who were poised to join. And a precious few were like me, patriots who were allowed, for a few moments, to look deeper into the lives of those who dedicated themselves to their country.
