Your heroism and service is honored today, the 106th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Officer Etheridge, you gave your life while protecting one of America's greatest assets, it's Railroads. Your sacrifice has been memorialized here for all to see, but your family has memorialized you in their hearts and no doubt succeeding generations have honored you.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
