Bob Kozminski's name was recently added to the memorial to fallen Officer's at Grand Rapids Police Department Headquarters. Kozminski's bronzed image and name were unveiled yesterday. A local ceremony for Police Memorial Day is scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m. at Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids. This event will honor Kozminski as well as Officers that lost their lives around the country in an unprecedented year of violent deaths and attacks against Police Officers. The Kozminski family privately viewed the Police Memorial but could not attend the local ceremony. Instead, they will be at the national ceremony, an honor for families of officers slain in 2007. They were to be escorted by their son's team; Carrier, his supervisor; and Lt. Mark Ostapowicz. They will meet with President Bush during the event. "(Richard Kozminski) is torn because he would like to be here, with the community and the police department, for our ceremony, but he realizes that the (national memorial) is a very important," Carrier said.
