It was created by the parents of a 25-year-old man who lost his life while driving a motorcycle in a head-on collision with another vehicle. The driver in the other vehicle failed to see him.

In honor of the countless lives lost as a result of the attacks on 9/11, the Oswego Fire Department has displayed the American flag overhead on East Bridge Street. This flag will remain displayed there until midnight Friday.
Originally, the display of the flag was for a promotional video for the 9/11 Remembrance run held on Sunday. However, after receving positive feedback from local residents, the decision was made to display the flag for the entire day.
