Ann Arbor, MI (March 19, 2021) Firefighter Stephen Siller laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation honors Stephen's life and the military service members and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country. Tunnel to Towers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, operates a Smart Home Program for catastrophically injured veterans, a Fallen First Responder Home Program and a Gold Star Family Home Program. They also host numerous fundraising events that directly benefit military and first responder families.
EOTECH is proud to stand with our law enforcement, first responders and military and is honored to announce a new partnership with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Each day, brave men and women put their lives on the line protecting our communities and defending our country and EOTECH believes that now more than ever, these heroes need our financial support. To kick off this partnership, EOTECH has launched a “Back the Blue Initiative” to bring attention to these patriots and generate funds to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s efforts. EOTECH's "Back the Blue Initiative" features a special edition EOTECH XPS2 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) with a "Thin Blue Line Flag" logo.

Ann Arbor, MI (March 10, 2021) EOTECH is pleased to announce a collaboration with The Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) —a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring America’s fallen law enforcement officers—to memorialize law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty by including Officer Memorial Cards in EOTECH’s product packaging.
Together, ODMP and EOTECH designed the cards to honor 900+ U.S. Law Enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice over the past five years. Each card includes an individual officer’s rank and name, along with their agency, length of service, and end of watch date. The cards feature a QR code so EOTECH customers can visit the officer’s memorial on the ODMP website.
As a leading supplier of law enforcement equipment, EOTECH shares ODMP’s interest in raising public awareness around officer deaths. Creating these memorial cards, serves as a sobering reminder of the sacrifices officers make and that those sacrifices won’t be forgotten.
“EOTECH has long been a supporter of law enforcement and felt this simple but meaningful gesture was a great way to actively show our support both for fallen law enforcement officers and highlight the positive work ODMP is doing,” states Lisa Kemp, Director of Marketing at EOTECH. "As expected, the feedback from our consumers has been very positive and appreciative of our support for Law Enforcement. "
