Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Just thinking of SGT Jim Snedigar of the 3d Ranger Battalion. he was a great Ranger who would do anything for his fellow Rangers. being the point man on the SWAT mission was typical of Ranger Snedigar. He continued to serve after leaving the Army, and is not forgotten.

Uncle Jim Bob, I didn't know you; all I remember is your face, We were sitting at the table in the dinning room of the Ranch you looked over and smiled at me. That is the only memory I have of you and I'm so happy it's a good one! Every where I go at least one person asks me if I am related to the Fallen Officer I honorably say "Yes I am" I love you and I miss you, I can't wait to see you again. You have not been forgotten!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the tenth 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.

Jim Bob, I miss the days when we were both young when you were living in Globe. I am so proud of you for who you were then and who you became. You were always someone I looked up to. I pray that your family is safe and sound and that one day we will be able to talk about the old times we once shared. Thanks for being my friend as you were to so many. Love you buddy!

Jim,

Recently, I started collecting patches again and came across my chandler patch with your memorial pin on it. Then came across your pin a couple days later on my old MA uniform. Without getting into a long story, you just helped me through a vary trying time. I know your watching over all of us - and are here with us when we need the inspiration or motivation. You will always be remembered my friend. God bless and tell "Moose" 'Hi' for all of us.

"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.

It has been over 7 years since your tour of duty ended and I know the silent tears still fall from the eyes of those that love you so much. Keep watch over them and know that you have not been forgotten as you are a true hero and heroes never die.
