A procession led by a modified truck connected to a trailer with gull-wing doors carried a 16,000-pound steel beam from Santa Rosa, across Marin County, over the Golden Gate Bridge, and ended in a ceremony at Pier 27 in San Francisco honoring the people who lost their lives that day. <\/p>\n
The event, coined the Steel Across America tour, was organized by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Its purpose is to travel to 35 cities across the country to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9\/11 attacks, with San Francisco being the 23rd stop.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was founded in the aftermath of 9\/11 with the stated mission to “do good.” The nonprofit helps veterans, first responders, and their families to pay their mortgages, build smart homes for people with severe injuries, avoid homelessness, and continue educating and remembering the stories related Sept. 11, 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A procession led by a modified truck connected to a trailer with gull-wing doors carried a 16,000-pound steel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":396261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-396260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=396260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=396260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=396260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
