95 years ago today, you made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our city and its citizens. For that, we are eternally grateful.

Rest in peace, sir, we'll take it from here.

I am very sorry to say, Frank Lewis (Charles Forbes) was my grandfather. Just learned the extent of his, my grandmother and the rest of both families in gang crimes. We always thought our last name should have been "Lewis" - also just learned it should be Forbes. Very heartbreaking to think of fallen officers and the families they left behind.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 92nd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Chief Rowan - It sounds like you were "leading from the front", Sir! Three weeks ago, I stood in the State Assembly chambers when your name was one of almost 250 read off during a motion regarding next month's Police Memorial Week. You are not forgotten.

Thank you for you service to the people of Colorado Springs and the state of Colorado. May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.
