Honoring America’s fallen heroes ahead of Memorial Day weekend, with a powerful and emotional conversation featuring Frank Siller, Chairman and CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. This hour delivers a heartfelt tribute to military service members, first responders, and their families, while also spotlighting impactful charitable efforts and patriotic initiatives.

Frank Siller shares the origins and mission of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, inspired by the heroic sacrifice of his brother, Stephen Siller, on 9/11. The foundation provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families and catastrophically injured veterans and is expanding its reach by building homeless veteran villages across the U.S., including in cities like Atlanta, Denver, Buffalo, and Puerto Rico. Siller emphasizes the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by service members and encourages listeners to support the cause by donating $11/month at T2T.org.

Clay and Frank reflect on the bravery of the Greatest Generation, particularly those who stormed the beaches of Normandy, and draw parallels to the courage of post-9/11 veterans. They also discuss the upcoming 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, noting former President Donald Trump’s support for Tunnel to Towers and his plans to commemorate both milestones.

Later in the hour, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey joins the show to discuss his state’s new “Troops to Teachers” initiative, which streamlines the process for veterans to become educators. Morrissey highlights the leadership and life experience veterans bring to classrooms and how this program addresses teacher shortages while honoring military service. He also praises President Trump’s policies, particularly on energy independence and deregulation, and outlines West Virginia’s economic revitalization efforts, including upcoming announcements tied to the WVU-Pitt “Backyard Brawl” football game.

The hour concludes with Clay Travis reflecting on the importance of gratitude and historical perspective. He shares personal experiences, including a visit to Normandy and an analogy from Warren Buffett about the privilege of being born in America. Clay encourages listeners to appreciate the freedoms they enjoy, made possible by the sacrifices of others, and to take time this Memorial Day weekend to honor those who gave their lives for the country.
