Frank Siller

They walk into the house for the first time, and they have a home that's paid for forever.

Uh, I was in New York where I went to a, uh, police detective's meeting where I awarded, thanks to the members here at PGA, we raised $10,000 to give to a fallen police officer, and at the same event, Frank Siller got up and paid off her mortgage for the family for a fallen police officer.

So-

So-It is an absolute pleasure to have them a part of me, and for me to be a part of them.

I don't work up in Staten Island, but when I wake up in the morning, I thank God that I'm able to be employed by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

It really helped me in my life.

I met Frank Siller at the Gary and Vivian Player Foundation event at Philad- in Philadelphia three years ago.

And Frank, I saw him with this little camo hat on, and I walked up to him and I said, "Frank, what you're doing for this country is so amazing." And we chatted for a while, and he said, "Da- " He said, "Wayne, why don't you introduce me to your father?" So I said, "Sure." So we went over, and he said, "Mr.

They've been patient.

We'll go to line number four and we say good morning to Frank in the Bronx.

Frank, good morning.

Thanks for your time.

Hey, Dr. Scott.

And, Doctor, isn't that interesting? We're hearing another person testifying about how they believe that there's a connection to an almighty power.

Amazing.

Yeah, I agree with Frank.

We all gather around Ground Zero, around the area.

And it says Frank Siller gives Joe the Steel Award, Steel from the Tower Award.

And I'm going like, okay, we're going to make a presentation because, you know, it's like the steel across America.

That's what I thought it was.

And I think more than most.

And when you hold and you feel that steel, especially in that South Tower where Steven Siller died, and that was his widow right now giving me.

the award with Mr. Siller, Frank Siller.

Just absolutely humbly thanks, guys, for putting that up.

His translation of Longfellow's Evangeline into German hexameters very greatly pleased the old poet himself and has, since its first publication in 1879, taken its place in German literature as a classic.

It is used in the University of Berlin as the best version of that poem.
