STATEMENT BY JIM OGONOWSKI ON JOHN KERRY REMARKS

30th May 2008

(Westford, MA) – Jim Ogonowski released the following statement today in response to John Kerry’s remarks that “we were basically at peace” on September 11th:

“Either John Kerry is naïve or he is actually using this tragedy for political propaganda to capture more headlines for himself in this election cycle. Does he know this was not the first attack on the very building taken down on September 11th? Does he consider the bombings of our embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and on American troops on the U.S.S. Cole as being “basically at peace”? On the morning of September 11, 2001, America and the world were reminded that evil in the hearts of only a few men can cause harm to many. Those attacks were not planned in a day. Islamic extremists had long before declared war on America and American interests. While September 11th was a day of peace to John Kerry, for me it was the day I lost my brother. I think it would be very appropriate of John Kerry to apologize to the victims and the families of those lost on that day for his remarks.”
