We sure dont do it for the money. Thanks for responding to the call. I did it for many years myself. Thank God I got to retire before some bozo did me in. The bozo gets out of jail, long before the Officer gets out of the coffin. Thank you for your service, courage, endurance, pride, integrity, and guts. Sleep well, my friend.

Detective Boggs was a close friend of my father and was a respected friend of our family. I was privileged to have known him. He was a very competent investigator and a gentleman. Detective Boggs pursued every investigation with professionalism and dedication. He will be fondly remembered by so many. May God bless his soul with rest.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 38th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. 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.

Rest In Peace.

"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.

Donna's reflection shows that a man remembered lives for eternity.

February 25, 2006

As a little girl on North South Street I use to sit on the culbert and wave to you as you passed by. Then one day your picture was on the front page of the Mt. Airy News. I told my grandma you were my friend and you always smiled and waved to me when you drove by. She sat me down and sadly began to tell me you would not be driving by anymore. A bad man had killed you. It was a very sad day for me as an eight year old, one I will never forget.

I just want your family to know how much your smile meant to a little girl who thought of you as her hero.

Love, Your Little Friend
