To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 152nd anniversary year 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.

Rest in peace as you patrol with St. Michael and all fallen
heroes in heaven.

Officer Loughery, today marks the 148th anniversary of your murder while protecting the City of Cambridge. The city has changed quite a bit since you policed it and your agency now works side by side with the MIT Police and the Harvard University Police. We are privileged to work alongside such a professional law enforcement agency and I know you would be proud of your department today.

The fate of your killer is not listed but I trust he face true justice, if not in this life, then in the next. His name is now forgotten, yours never will be, thanks in part to this wonderful website. You are a real hero.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
