By JIM THOMPSON | The Northwest Florida Daily News | Published: December 15, 2020 CRESTVIEW, Fla. (Tribune News Service) Just in time for Christmas, the mortgage on the family home of an Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Green Beret soldier who died earlier this year in combat in Afghanistan has been paid in full. The mortgage was paid by the nonprofit Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation through its Gold Star Family Home Program. The foundation honors the memory of Stephen Siller, an off-duty New York firefighter who died while responding to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the city. Sgt. 1st Class Javier Gutierrez, 28, was killed in action Feb. 8 in Afghanistan s Nangarhar province while serving with the Eglin Air Force Base-headquartered 7th Group. He had served in the Army for 10 years, including four years with Special Forces.
