Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

You are always on my mind! When I pass by your townhouse I think of your smile and your favored name that you gave me( Nell). I miss you.

Officer Wilkinson, remembering your smile entering/exiting the Naval Weapons Station.
Always enjoying your job. No doubt that you are remembered, even though probably all are now retired.
May your family be doing well.
'Jesus wept' the moment you passed.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixteenth 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you, especially your children. The hurt of losing a beloved never goes away and both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Officer Wilkinson, today marks the 14th anniversary of your tragic death. Your service to our nation is greatly appreciated and your death a very sad end to 19 years of that service. It’s gratifying that the person responsible served the time, though it does not bring you back or give your daughters, all grown now, their father. I’m sure you are very much missed still today.

Though I have always had great respect for the DOD Police, I have a good friend currently working for you in Mass. and it makes me appreciate your job all the more.

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

You are thought of and remembered, Officer Wilkinson, everytime we receive our weapons through the armory window, as your E.O.W. plaque hangs above it.

Your ultimate contribution and sacrifice will never fade.

Although your call sign is retired, your smile and jolly way is always present. We miss you.

God Bless your family.
