Representatives from the Milwaukee Fire Department and On Purpose Journey, a non-profit that provides support for military, firefighters, law enforcement and veterans, today announced a collection of events to pay tribute to the upcoming 15th anniversary of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. "This year, we were asked by fire departments, law enforcement agencies and military veteran groups around the country to stand for their fallen, and we are excited and humbled and honored to answer that call," said Mollie Manhattan, founder of On Purpose Journey, at Tuesday's press conference, held outside of Milwaukee Fire Department Engine House 2, 755 N. James Lovell St. On Sunday, Sept 11, several "Standing for the Fallen" 9/11 memorial events will take place throughout the day around the city, starting at 9:30 a.m. with a collaborative Salute to Service 9/11 5K. Presented in partnership with area fire departments, law enforcement agencies and Dryhootch Milwaukee, the marathon – beginning and ending at the War Memorial Center – is open to the general public. Registration is available at Dryhootch's website. The 5K will be followed at 2:30 p.m. with a protective services parade, winding through Downtown and ending, once again, at the War Memorial Center at 4 p.m. Open to the general public, the silent memorializing parade will feature fire department vehicles and law enforcement vehicles from across the area, as well as "very likely" some military vehicles, according to MFD Deputy Chief Aaron Lipski.
