Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Det. Swain,
On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice- of just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served during the Spanish-American War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

His great-grandson, Daniel Swain, is a friend of mine and brings great honor to the Swain family name. We served together with the USAF. My grandfather is honored on this site as well.

On this day 94 years ago you gave your life protecting the people of Philadelphia and trying to save someone from the evil actions of others. Your actions that day define heroism and not only do we say thank you for that sacrifice and your service, but we also remind you and your family that no passage of time will ever erase that sacrifice. Rest In Peace always.

My grandfather was a very brave man and he died in a cruel way. A good officer who was trying to protect others and gave his life doing so. I'm sure my father,his son was very proud of him . I am.
