COLORADO SPRINGS â Every year we honor all of the service men and women who have fallen, both during and after combat.
Many families and friends, who too soon, have had to put their loved one s to rest.
Debra and Joe Rowland, both veterans, say they always knew what Memorial Day meant, but the day took on a whole new meaning after their son passed away.
Christopher Rowland served in Operation Iraqi Freedom for 15 months before he returned home to Fort Carson in 2009.
