Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and fifty-seventh 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.

It is interesting to note that this man was the first to die in the line of duty in Rhode Island. The story is fact-filled, but it would be so much more complete if a photo were found. It is also interesting to note just how far we've come in medical services. If this had happened with today's technology available, it's quite possible Watchman Pullan would have survived.

"no greater love a man has than to lay down his life for his friends". Watchman Pullan died protecting the citizens of Providence. He set an example we all can follow. May Jesus wrap his forgiving arms around our brother-in-blue.

Rest in Peace
