MILWAUKEE — More than two decades after the Sept. 11 attacks, people in Wisconsin on Monday came together in Kewaskum to remember the nearly 3,000 people killed, including one Wisconsin native in particular.

“On Sept. 11, 2001, a woman by the name of Andrea Lynn Haberman was killed in the North Tower of the World Trade Center,” said Fuzz Martin, president of the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial and Education Center in Kewaskum. “[Andrea’s father] Gordon and his wife Kathy, and a number of individuals from the Kewaskum community, were instrumental in not only getting the fundraising going but even the concept of the memorial itself.”

The 9/11 memorial officially opened two summers ago after a beam from the North Tower arrived in Kewaskum back in 2014.

Now, with visitors arriving almost every day to tour the grounds, Martin said it’s part of his life’s work to keep the memory of that tragic day alive for future generations.

“My daughter’s in third grade now,” Martin said. “A couple of years ago, her teacher — I’d asked how old she was when Sept. 11 happened — and my daughter’s teacher was only 10 years old, so as we’re now 22 years past [the attacks] and that number never does get smaller, it’s important to educate future generations about what happened on that day.”
