As a 8 year old boy living in LaPorte Indiana I saw a scene that I never want to see again. It was Trooper Dixon being rushed to the hospital after being shot. He was covered with blood with his head against the passenger side window. We was living on East Lincoln Way in LaPorte and as we was playing outside we heard the siren coming so we rushed to the street and saw the troopers car go by. My parents had a radio that you could pick up the Low Band Police Radio calls on and we was able to follow a lot of the chase on it. One thing that I missed was about the Newsman that was suppose to have been with Trooper Dixon.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 74th 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

My wife and I were reading today a diary written by my father in law Clarence Snyder in 1940. In the diary we discoverd a news paper article about two "colored" boys who learning of the murder of officer Ray Dixon walked some distance to the officers parent home where the body lay and burst into tears when they were led to the casket. The boys remember Ray Dixon not just as a poiceman but as their vacant lot game umpire and the one who bought them a bat and ball to keep the neighborhood game going for these dear boys and their friends. Ray Dixon was a great man who did so much for his community. He cared about all the kids and gave of his time and money to show he cared. And he gave his life protecting the rest of us from violence. You helped to maintain our civilization and we are still greatful. So many years later, may we say thank you officer Dixon for your example and service. May God bless you sir and your family along with those two boys.

Our Greatest Fear
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again, I hold back a tear.
They patrol in the state, city, county and town,
in uniforms colored white, green, blue and brown.
The shape of their badges may vary,
but it’s a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some don’t come home, no matter how hard they try.
To uphold the law is the job that they pick,
with such high aspirations, why must some die so quick?
They leave behind loved ones, family and friends,
after their lives have met tragic ends.
Some die in crashes, others hearts not too stout,
too many have been lost when gunshots ring out.
Our Heavenly Father has called them home,
no more these dark streets do they roam.
Through trial and error they have given their best,
please Lord, now grant them eternal rest.
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
" Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.
