Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am so very proud to be a descendant of James Harris Ballenger. Years ago the US Marshall's Service invited us all to a memorial presentation in his honor. It was so very moving to know that his sacrifice is remembered.

As a former postal employee and a police officer's son, I can reflect on the virtues of honesty. Your honesty, Special Deputy Marshal Ballenger will not be forgotten. Rest in peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 120th 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 remembered and revered.

Rest In Peace
