Patrolman Martin J. O'Brien:
It is so sad that the names of John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson are so known. It is your name Patrolman Martin J. O'Brien 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.

You and your partner were taken away by coward thugs. We as police always know that dangers lurk around any corner. We know you and your partner paid for everything with your lives. Your memory and lives are not forgotten in what you stood for. Thank you for the service.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. . Your heroism and service is honored today, the 78th 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 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.
