Reflections for Patrolman Michael Latvis

Patrolman Latvis, it has been 67 years since you were taken from us. I have many friends who retired from, or are still with the Nashua Police, and what a fine and progressive agency it has become. You would be proud.

New Hampshire law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your 4 years of law enforcement service.

Officer Latvis, you lost your life while helping others, it's what being a hero is all about. Of course, no doubt your family would have preferred to have you with them, especially at Christmas, you made an enormous sacrifice.

You will be then and now, a true hero. Nausha Police Dept. is one of the most respected in the northeast, and it's the women and men like who are responsible for hat.

God Bless and may your rest be forever be Peaceful, Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 55th 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
