Sheriff Holmes,
On today, the 75th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during fighting the Germans during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
