More than 100 million Americans have been born since 9/11. As this generation navigates a deeply divided world, sharing stories from the attacks that highlight bravery, service, compassion, and unity has never been more important. To discuss how to engage young people today – in the classroom and the workplace – Admiral William H. McRaven (ret.), former commander of US Special Operations Command and former Chancellor of the University of Texas System, will join Elizabeth Hillman, 9/11 Memorial & Museum CEO & President, John Paluska, 9/11 Memorial & Museum Visionary Network Co-Founder and US Army veteran, and educator Emily Gardner, Librarian at Caldwell Heights Elementary in Texas. Their conversation will be broadcast live from Austin, TX and look to the future as we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11 in 2026.
