Reflections for Deputy U.S. Marshal Ike L. Gilstrap
Deputy Marshal Ike Gilstrap has been the stuff of legend in my family for as long as I can remember. We have his Colt revolver and one picture of him. His example led his son to service in the Army in WWI, his grandson to service in the Navy during the Korean War, and his great-grandson (that would be me) to service in the fire and rescue service. This is a wonderful site. I happened upon it purely by happenstance. Thank you all for keeping Ike Gilstrap's memory alive.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 103rd 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 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.
