    Raleigh, NC — During a ceremony at the State Capitol, Military Affairs Advisor Cornell Wilson presented a proclamation on behalf of Governor Pat McCrory proclaiming September 12, 2015 as Tunnel to Towers Day in North Carolina. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation seeks to support first responders and veterans and will host a 5K Run & Walk on September 12 in the Research Triangle Park.

    "September 11, 2001 was a poignant reminder that there are heroes all around us in our first responders and military," said Governor McCrory.
