Special Agent Herman Hollis :
It is so sad that the name of Baby Face Nelson is so known. It is your name Special Agent Herman Hollis
that should be known. You are a hero and a man to be looked up to. May you rest in peace and thank you and your family for the ultimate sacrifice. WE are a better people today because you walked among us yesterday.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 77th 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.

70 years ago today FBI agents Herman Hollis and Samuel Cowley lost their lives serving their
country. Their heroic actions on that day were the highest examples of selflessness in the face of great danger.

Although the world has turned many times since their passing, and with it the face of law enforcement, the common bond of doing one's duty is still as strong today as it was then.

All of our shifts today are dedicated to these great men.

Because of you and your dedication to Law Enforcement, one of the most ruthless criminals of our time finally was stopped. Thank you for all you did and may you rest in peace for eternity. Godspeed my brother.
