Your heroism and service is honored today, the forty-first 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 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.

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

"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.

Sir, it is an honor to be the first of what I am sure will many to leave a reflection thanking you for your sacrifice. Rest in peace always.

Dear Bill:
Firstly, I would like to say how sorry I am that 36 years has passed, before you received the honor and respect you so richly deserve. Next, I would like to extend my profound gratitude for the sacrifice you made, in the name of law and order.
America loves a hero, and Bill, let there be no mistake: you ARE a hero. Not many people in this country have any real idea of the emotional, physical, and mental demand, that enforcing the law puts on an officer. Or, perhaps they do... and that may be why there are so few of us. But either way, my brother, rest easy, the blue line has held, and we have the watch now.
May our Heavenly Father keep your family always lovingly in His sight, your name always on His lips, and hold you close to His heart as you patrol the streets of Heaven. You did your job, and you did it well. I am certain that your family is proud of you, your fellow brother officers are proud of you, Alaska is proud of you, and America is proud of you. Amen.
