To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored on this 107th 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 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.

Sgt. Cummings,
On today, the 105th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Chicago. I think it was a travesty that the man who killed you was not convicted.
