Good evening Zettergren family,

Today, I and a group of Maple Grove officers stood guard at the Peace Officer Memorial in St. Paul. Each officer had the responsibility to read the name of a fallen officer. I was honored to read Ernest’s name. Please know Ernest is not forgotten and it was a privilege to read his name and learn about how served. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this Peace Officer Memorial Day.

My Dear Uncle.
The day will come that I can uphold my promise to your Sister, my Mother Signe , that I would make the trip to visit your memorial. Now that she is with you, that day will soon be here.

To every officer that has chosen to wear the shield, I say Thank You.
The men and women of the law community have sure been given a raw deal and have had to to endure more than you should by those that you have sworn to protect. For that I salute you all.

Dear Grandpa,

I attend the police memorial each year to honor the grandfather I never got a chance to know. I also attend to honor all the other fallen officers. This years memorial was very special to me, because it they had honored you at the very beginning of it. I am so glad that my mom and grandmother were the one's that first brought me to the service's. This is a tradition that I hope that my son and grandson will keep on going to when I am unable to.

One of your Granddaughters and Family
Who will always honor you!!!!!!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 58th 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

Dear Grandpa,

We never had the chance to meet, you were taken long before I was born. My father has passed onto me what he remembers and you would be very proud of him, I know I am. He has been doing volunteer work for the Law Enforcement Memorial Association, and his been a great supporter of my husband who is a Tucson Police Officer. Please watch over him and our family in blue.

Deputy Zettergren,

You died on my birthday, 20 years before I was born. We would have never crossed paths, but you are not forgotten.
