It may be close to 100 years when you laid not your life, but you are not forgotten. As Jesus said, "no greater sacrifice can one make then to lay down his life for a brother." You are a hero.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 95th 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 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.
