On a dark Friday night the Colorado State Patrol Dispatch center received a call of a stranded motorist who told the call taker that he sitting next to your roadside memorial sign. From what he gave us we were able to locate the motorist and get him some help. Thank you for your service, now and back in the past. You will never be forgotten.
