Ryan Scott Ostrom

Liberty, Pennsylvania

August 9, 2005

 Killed in Taqaddum, Iraq, from injuries sustained from enemy small arms fire earlier in Habbaniya, Iraq.

My name is Donna Ostrom I am a mother to a Fallen Soldier, Hero, loving son, brother, and fiancé. He was killed in Iraq on August 9th 2005. He will always be our Hero and he will never be forgotten. 

He was a very outgoing person, and very professional about his duties. He loved his country and took it with pride. We miss him dearly. The hurt will never go away, may ease up at times but will always be there. It seems like this we are all in a nightmare and it won't go away. I don't understand why God took my only son away. I never will understand. My heart felt sympathy to all the families who have lost a loved one.
