I have been with the Marietta Police department since 2015. Your oil painting and badge still hangs in the officer typing room almost 100 years after your end of watch. I'm also 34 years old and work the same beat you were murdered in in 1925 when you were 34 years old. I also have a young son, same as you. I had the honor of visiting the memorial in DC recently. The bagpipes blair once a year for you and thousands of others who made the ultimate sacrifice. You are not forgotten. Rest in Peace Ptl. Harrison Boyd.

I regret that I never got to meet you, I think my father missed you as he was only 5 years old when you were killed. You were always a hero in my mind and my sisters. Your presence was always felt through your son and his support of the memorial in Washington. My partner and I got to take my father and mother to see your name on the wall before he died. It was something he had always dreamed of doing. You are forever remembered and missed.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87 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.

Time never diminishes respect. You will always be honored and revered.

It is most distressing to know that your murderer was paroled after serving a woefully inadequate sentence and then was responsibile for the death of two other law enfocement officers after he was paroled.
Rest In Peace

Your killer should never have been released from prison earlier. If our justice system had done it's job correctly this animal would have been executed. I am so sorry that our system failed you. Your service will always be remembered and this short note after almost 85 years may seem late but you will always be in the hearts of all law enforcement personnel and we all thank you for your service.

YOU ARE REMEMBERED TODAY AND THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE, AS ALWAYS, THIS WRITER IS DISAPPOINTED THAT JUSTICE WAS NOT SERVED ON YOUR BEHALF. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT OCCURRED, AS IT COST TWO OTHER POLICE OFFICERS THEIR LIVES
