Today is the 84th anniversary of your passing. How gratifying to see that your family never forgot you. I know, simply not posting something here means nothing, to see that when a hero IS honored here, the family acknowledges that posting.

Of course, we never truly know what happens beyond this site and it is abundantly clear, the family of Detective Piatt has honored him in their own way. I respect and admire that. God Bless you all.

I am Walter Piatt's granddaughter, and even though I never knew him, his life and death had a great effect on his wife and children. His bravery has long been honored.

I would love to contact the poster who is Walter Piatt's great-grandson and thank him for getting our ancestor added to this site and to share information.

I am Detective Piatt's great grandson and am responsible for working with this web site's administrator to get him added. I just wanted to be clear that it did not take 82 years for my ggrandfather to be honored. He has been honored by his family since his death in the line of duty. When we as a family first discovered this web site we worked to get him added. I am in law enforcement and fully appreciate his service. I just wanted the anonymous poster to realize it did not take 82 years for him to be honored. We honor our family.

Detective Piatt, when my Dad worked for the New York Central Railroad in various capacities, his last 5 as a RR cop, he encountered some very serious near death accidents. I thank God he was never seriously injured, but it proved to me how delicate life can be and how many risks are out there for the men of the rails. It's truly sad that you were taken from your family. I'm just so very glad that you have not been forgotten and that you are honored here.

Railroad Police agencies seem to be slowly becoming a thing of the past, which is a travesty, but for all of those who still serve to protect one of the main things that made America what it is today, and for all who preceded them, we, as a nation, owe our thanks.

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

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 82nd 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. 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.
