The Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring first responders and military service personnel, is proud to unveil the country’s first 9/11 Mobile Museum at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on September 11, 2013. The 53-foot Mobile Museum will contain treasured artifacts donated by FDNY firehouses that have been specially selected to offer Americans a profound look at what happened on September 11, 2001. 

The Mobile Museum was created to honor and remind Americans of the heroic efforts of the first responders on 9/11. Memorabilia featured in the Mobile Museum will include:

• an audio recording of the last known transmission shortly before the South Tower collapsed
• pieces of aluminum façade from the World Trade Center
• a small rendition of the bronze sculpture of Stephen Siller and pictures of his fire truck taken at Ground Zero
