Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial to Host Annual Remembrance Event Featuring Personal Testimonies

The Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center will host its annual September 11th Remembrance event on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. at the Memorial, located at 1308 Fond du Lac Avenue in Kewaskum.
This year’s program will feature two distinguished speakers with profound personal connections to the events of September 11, 2001:
• Julie Henneberry, a board member of the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial, will share her story publicly for the first time. Julie is the daughter of FDNY Lieutenant Peter Louis Freund, who tragically died in the collapse of the North Tower of the World Trade Center when she was just 10 years old. Now a Wisconsin resident, she honors her father’s legacy through service and endurance, including running marathons for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and training for the Chicago Marathon in support of the Ignite the Spirit Fund.
• Paul J. Conway, a retired assistant chief of the Milwaukee Fire Department and founder of Conway Shield, will also speak. With over 30 years of experience in the American fire service, Paul will offer deep insights and leadership expertise, discussing the enduring impact of 9/11, the grief journey, and how to lead with honor, courage, and commitment.
The annual event is free and open to the public. Community members, students, and families are encouraged to attend and pay tribute to the victims, survivors, and heroes of September 11, 2001. The Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial & Education Center is dedicated to honoring those lost and educating future generations about the events and aftermath of September 11.
