Fifteen years ago I sat across the table from you at a table at the office Christmas party. What I wouldn't give to be able to turn back the calendar and bring you back.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 12th 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 the solace of all those who love and miss you.
The pain and the pride are forever.

The circumstances of your death were horrific and must have added to the anquish of your loved ones.

Rest In Peace

While the days and nights have passed, there has not been a single one that you have not been in my prayers and thoughts. It's hard to believe that almost 12 years have passed. Thanks to all for your kind words and support over the years. My prayers are with those of you on the job and with your families. Cherish your moments, each moment is more valuable than you'll ever know...

"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.

As today marks the tenth anniversary of your death my thoughts and prayers remain with Sam, Kelsey and Kathy. Although you and I never met in life I handled the prosecution of your killer and learned much about you. Your death was a result of your unselfish service to this country. You and your family will not be forgotten. Rest in peace with the angels above.
Thanks again......Pete

You were going the right thing by giving a friend in need a ride home and it turns out he wasn't such a good friend. My husband recently applied to the DEA, I can only hope he will be half the agent you were. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service
