Tunnel To Towers Foundation Will Be At loanDepot Park In Miami - The 9/11 25th Anniversary Tour Will Carry World Trade Center Steel Beam Coast-To-Coast

“This steel beam represents the best of who we are as a country,” said Frank Siller, Tunnel to Towers Foundation Chairman and CEO. “As it travels from coast to coast, we hope this symbol brings communities together to remember the heroes we lost, honor the people still suffering from 9/11-related illnesses, support the families forever changed, and pay tribute to those who continue to protect and serve. Together, we must Never Forget.”

Steel Across America officially launched on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. Across more than 10,500 miles, the steel will make more than 35 stops in 21 states and Washington, D.C., visiting landmark locations, community gathering places, town squares, and major sporting events nationwide before culminating in its return to Ground Zero on September 11th on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11.

At the heart of Steel Across America is a powerful and historic tribute: a steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center’s South Tower that will be carried from city to city as a lasting memorial. This sacred artifact will journey through communities and neighborhoods, inviting everyone to gather in shared remembrance, pay tribute to the heroes who answered the call on 9/11, and honor those who continue to serve our nation every day.

The steel exhibition will be accessible to the public via open exhibitions at national monuments, museums, and memorials across the country, including at the Flight 93 National Memorial (Stoystown, Pennsylvania), the USS Alabama (Mobile, Alabama), the Space Center Houston (Houston, Texas) and Mount Rushmore National Memorial (Keystone, South Dakota). The tour will also visit Major League Baseball stadiums including loanDepot Park (Miami, Florida), T-Mobile Park (Seattle, Washington), and Busch Stadium (St. Louis, Missouri). The steel will also stop at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School (Sarasota Florida), where President George W. Bush was visiting on 9/11 when he first learned about the attacks.

At public tour stops, visitors will be able to view the 9/11 steel up close, connect with individuals who lived through the tragic events, engage in meaningful educational experiences through the Foundation’s 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit, and more. City stops are listed below, and additional details regarding public tour events will be announced at a later date.

Steel Across America is a tribute to a defining moment in American history. The steel, which was recovered by thousands of first responders who rushed to Ground Zero in the days following the attacks, stands as a symbol of sacrifice, resilience, and our unbreakable spirit that emerged from tragedy.

For the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, this journey is deeply personal. The steel is an everlasting reminder of the selfless courage and service of first responders, including New York City firefighter Stephen Siller, who gave his life on September 11, 2001, along with so many other first responders. Their collective legacy continues to inspire a nation.
