To Todd Clark, my great grandfather was with your great grandfather when he was shot and killed. My GGF was Dick Crittenden USDM. The cabin on 14 mile creek was he and his wife Effie Crittendens'. All brave men and women. Effie was a US Deputy Marshall as well. My name is Darrel Crittenden Norman Oklahoma

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 118th 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
