Reflections for Deputy Sheriff George W. Van Vliet
Deputy Van Vliet:
Thanks for your service to the citizens of Los Angeles County. You and your partner obviously faced two dangerous suspects, but you both didn't hesitate to gird up and go to battle. Your partner obviously did a heroic job in dispatching your assailants but I'm sure he regretted not being able to save your life in the process. Anyway thanks for honoring our profession and sacrificing your life for the good of all law abiding citizens of this great nation.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 91rst 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Rest In Peace
