Reflections for Marshal Joseph R. Simons

Marshal Simons,
On today, the 125th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the Union Army during the Civil War as a member of the 11th Rhode Island Infantry Regiment.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 118th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. 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.

Marshal Simons - You lived long enough to clear your friend of wrongdoing...well done, Sir. Thanks for your service to both the people of Alamosa and the State of Colorado. I stood in the State Assembly hall, yesterday, when your name was read off during a proclamation for next month's Peace Officer's Memorial Week and Day. We will wear our mourning bands for you and the almost 250 other brother and sisters. May God grant you eternal rest and may his perpetual light shine upon you.
