24 years later: 9/11 Kewaskum memorial speakers impacted by 9/11 ask people not to forget

KEWASKUM, Wis. — In Kewaskum, hundreds of Wisconsinites showed up for the annual remembrance at the 9/11 Memorial and Education Center.

Julie Henneberry, Gordon Haberman, and Fred Hernandez were all directly impacted by the senseless violence 24 years ago in New York. Now, for the first time, Henneberry has decided to share her story.

"I'm a living, breathing person that was affected by this event," Henneberry said.

Julie Henneberry was 10 years old when her firefighter father, Paul Freund, died trying to save lives in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

"This was a real event. It wasn't that long ago and it wasn't that far away. The ripple effects can still be felt in everyday society," Henneberry said.
