And now 140 years have passed. So much has changed and yet, the life of a Police Officer is still valued by some. Your life was valued by many then, and many even now, so many years later.

God Bless, Brother.

We cannot fully honor our heroes of the present without paying tribute to our heroes of the past, Your heroism and service is honored today, the 139th anniversary year 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 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

Officer Blake, Massachusetts' law enforcement community owes a debt of thanks to you and all who pioneered policing here. Your sacrifice is acknowledged here and for that I am grateful. The girls who tried to get help for you should be honored as heroes, not because their efforts were successful, but because those efforts were made.

In this day and age, when the life of a cop is considered meaningless and every flaw is examined as though cops were NOT human beings who indeed have some flaws, anyone who wants to and/or tries to help the Police is a blessing. These two girls did a wonderful thing in trying. God Bless them, but more importantly, God Bless YOU for your efforts on the part of the City of Gloucester and the Commonwealth as a whole. May your rest be eternally peaceful, Brother.
