Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial to Host Annual Remembrance
Event Featuring Personal Testimonies
KEWASKUM, Wis. (June 25, 2025) – 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 11th.
