Reflections for Correctional Officer Henry M. Kenaga

Officer Kenaga,
On today, the 70th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My father was foreman of the jury who tried the first inmate, William Henry Parker, who planned it. After the prosecutors opening statement, the defense rested their case ending the trial so the prosecution never got to stress that William Henry Parker planned to have the guard killed. As a result the jury didn’t hang him. My father said the happiest guy he ever saw was the guy who had just been sentenced to life in the prison where he had killed a guard. I believe I looked up his prison record and he got released 19 years later, shockingly to me.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 58th 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.

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.
