Medallion Transport & Logistics is proud to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Steel Across America Tour through the efforts of its long-time agent, Freedom Transport, a preferred carrier helping transport a historic piece of steel from the World Trade Center across the country in honor of the 25th anniversary of September 11.
Beginning in May and culminating on September 11, the nationwide tour is transporting a 20-foot beam from the World Trade Center to 36 communities across America. At each stop, local residents gather to reflect, remember, and honor those lost on September 11, 2001, while recognizing the courage and sacrifice of first responders and everyday heroes.
The tour spans more than 10,500 miles and includes stops at landmark locations, memorials, museums, sporting events, and community gathering spaces across 21 states and Washington, D.C. Featured locations include the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania, Space Center Houston, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, the Utah State Capitol, and major league ballparks in Miami, Seattle, and St. Louis.
Freedom Transport, backed by the Medallion network, is providing experienced drivers and specialized equipment to safely transport the historic steel beam thousands of miles throughout the tour.
“At Medallion, partnerships mean more than moving freight—they mean moving purpose forward. We are honored to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and help ensure this powerful symbol of resilience reaches communities nationwide.”
Gary Weilheimer, Medallion Transport & Logistics CEO

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was inspired by the extraordinary life and sacrifice of Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller. On September 11, 2001, after finishing his shift, Siller returned to help following the attacks on the World Trade Center. When he reached the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and found it closed, he strapped on 60 pounds of gear and ran through the tunnel on foot to the Twin Towers, where he ultimately gave his life while saving others.
