Reflections for Police Officer Thomas Mallory
Officer Mallory, you did your job and I thank you for it. A labor dispute is no reason to take the life of a person who has no say on the outcome and your murder was unforgivable. It's now been 112 years and though justice may never be served, you're death is marked with respect whereas the eventual passing of your murderers is simply a footnote in history.
God Bless you Brother and may your eternal rest be ever Peaceful.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 97th 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

Officer Mallory, today marks the 94th anniversary of your murder. No union can justify murder in furthering its goals and the events of that day are a disgusting blot on an otherwise proud history of organized labor. You and Captain Craw were protecting a vital part of the American economy and it has always taken a special breed to be a Railroad cop. I thank you for your efforts and pray for your descendants.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

Captain Craw and Officer Mallory your heroic actions were discussed by Captain Chip Greiner on a History Channel Documentary on Railroad Police. Your sacrifice has not been forgotten. God Bless You both.
