## Resource

In a heartfelt tribute marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation honors fallen Baton Rouge officer Matthew Gerald by presenting his family with a mortgage-free home in Prairieville — one of 55 homes being gifted to first responder families nationwide. Gerald, who died in July 2021 during an ambush that also wounded three other officers, served three tours in Iraq and gave his life protecting his community. Foundation CEO Frank Siller praised Gerald’s courage and sacrifice, calling the home a lasting symbol of gratitude for his service both abroad and at home — offering his family stability, comfort, and enduring recognition for their loss.
