Rest in peace Patrolman Sawyer. Was wondering if you were related to newsman Forrest Sawyer?

I too heard of Patrolman Sawyer's sacrifice by listening to an old Dragnet radio program. I then came here to express my sorrow, and to ask God to bless the soul of Patrolman Sawyer.

At the end of the radio programme “Dragnet” episode 4, there is a dedication to Patrolman Sawyer. As a retired officer, I still consider myself fortunate to have shared a career with you and our fellow officers. RIP not forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 75th 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 who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

Patrolman Sawyer - Three Fridays ago, on a very rainy morning, I stood in the State Assembly chambers when your name was one of almost 250 read off during a motion regarding next month's Peace Officers Memorial Week. You are not forgotten.

Thank you for your service to the people of the City of Denver and the State of Colorado.

May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.
