Today on the 25th anniversary of the attack on America we remember those who perished. At our high school JROTC 911 Remembrance Ceremony, I walked a mile to honor the memory of James Robert Ostrowski. Our hearts remember that day 25 years ago as if it were yesterday. I was on the playground with 5 kindergarten classes when we heard the news. At this same time, James was busy at work not knowing what the day held. We honor you James, and everyone affected by this awful event. Rest peacefully Mr. Ostrowski
