I know it has been hard to remember one policeman who has been killed on duty, there have been so many lately, but today I'm going to say something about Ronil Singh.  He was killed on Christmas, 2018.  He left a wife and five month old son.  He was a legal immigrant from Fiji whose life dream was to be a police officer.  He was murdered when he stopped a suspected drunk driver.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was started to memorialize Stephen Siller a New York City firefighter who, on 9/11 even though his shift had just ended in Brooklyn raced with 60 pounds of gear strapped to his back through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the World Trade Center when he heard that a plane had crashed into Tower 2.  He joined the first responders trying to do what he could to help, but unfortunately he lost his life that day.

This foundation has helped many  families of first responders and members of the services who have died leaving young children.  Today, Frank Siller presented a paid mortgage to the brother of Ronil Singh.  He also gave Mr. Singh a check for the child's college education.  Mr. Singh expressed his gratitude and that of his sister-in-law to all those who have contributed to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.  He also said that his family had signed on to donate $11.00/month to the Foundation as gratitude and to help some other family.

What a wonderful example of gratitude and spirit of giving back to the community.
