Your heroism and service is honored today, the 14th 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.

I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Jim, it has been a long time, but you and your family have always been in my thoughts. I still remember those first few days of the academy when you were standing tall and willing to help those who were having second thoughts. I strive to become the man you carried yourself as.
I am thankful that I had the chance to get to know you and that day in the gym will never leave me. Thanks for all the fun thoughts and look forward to meeting up with you again. You will always be in my thoughts and your family in my prayers.

Jimmy,
Nearly 11 years has passed since that terribly sad day in the gym at ILEA. In the years that have gone by, I have never forgotten your infectious smile and laugh. Though I only knew you for a few short weeks, you left an indelible impression on me that pushes me even today. You are the first "Hero" that I ever new to die in the line of duty. You should know that you, and the many brothers and sisters who have fallen since, were the driving force behind my song "Why Do Heroes Have To Die?"
I am very grateful to have known you. God Bless!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I have Jimmy's picture over my desk as a reminder that he is always with me riding shotgun, watching my back. It has been tested a few times in my 10 year career and I'm confident he's that little voice in my head guiding my intuition. If you didn't know him, I'm sorry. I knew him for 4 short weeks and he quickly became my best friend at ILEA. He encouraged me through those first few weeks of the academy to keep going, that I could do it and would make a fine Deputy. Jimmy was the model policeman. Everyone should hope to be like him. I'm trying every day to live up to his image and continue being who he helped me become.

A decade has passed and you have not been forgotten nor will that ever be the case. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol guarding over the Thin Blue Line. You are a true hero and heroes never die.
