2011 Jamie McMurray #1 Honoring Our Heroes / Bass Pro Shops 1:24 NASCAR Diecast

Stephen Siller was one of those heroes. A New York City firefighter, Siller ran through the tunnel to the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, carrying nearly 75 pounds of gear on his back, to rescue his fellow New Yorkers. When the towers collapsed, Siller lost his life – leaving his wife, five children and siblings to carry on his memory and share his story. Since that day, through The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, his heroism has inspired countless Americans.

Every year, The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation holds the annual Tunnel to Towers run in which thousands retrace Siller s steps on that fateful day and raise funds for the Foundation s charitable efforts. This year, The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation is expanding its reach by helping America's military heroes. They are building custom “smart” homes for Brendan Marrocco, Todd Nicely and John Beck – the only three surviving quadruple amputees of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lionel NASCAR Collectables is proud to honor the heroes of September 11 at Richmond International Raceway and help our military heroes who have sacrificed so much by donating a portion of the proceeds from each diecast sold to the building of “smart” homes for each of these three wounded servicemen.
