Reflections for Policeman Silas Benjamin Newcomb
Officer Newcomb,
On today, the 147th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Victoria.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 147th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. You lived through the horrors of the Civil War only to be shot policing the streets of your town. Thank you for your service.
My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in 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. Rest In Peace.
