Reflections for Sergeant Willard R. Ballard
Sgt. Ballard,
On today, the 60th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enfrcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
God Bless

Your heroism and service is honored today, the forty-fifth 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.

No fellow Los Angeles County law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.

Sgt. Ballard.-I attended your grandsons funeral today and learned about you. I know in my heart that you were in heaven with open arms last friday to embrace Kyle and welcome him home. I know in my heart that you are both watching over Laurie, the boys, and the rest of the family. I pray that you help heal everyone's broken heart down here. Both you and Kyle are truly heros and I appreciate your service. You and Kyle are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace.
