I knew about Jimmy Mangan’s death in 1910, as he was related to my Grandfather, Patrick Mangan (of Denver, Colorado) but when I first noticed the entry years ago it lacked a photo of Officer Mangan. Glad to see that there is now one available.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 104th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. 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. Your bravery was amazing.Rest In Peace

On the 99th anniversary of Patrolman Mangan's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Patrolman Mangan is not forgotten.

Patrolman Mangan, today marks the 96th anniversary of your death. You are the very definition of the word, "HERO". Your efforts that day were above and beyond the call of duty and thanks to you, two innocent children survived. I truly am awestruck by your actions.

God Bless you and I KNOW you have a special place in Heaven.

Sir:

I am able to write this thanks to men such as you. On March 25, 1911, my grandmother, Rebecca Burski, was at work on the ninth floor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Men such as you, helped her escape the inferno that, until September 11, 2001, was the worst fire disaster the City of New York had ever seen.

To your children and grandchildren still living and those who continue to cherish your memory and your heroism, I dedicate my life in the public service to you.
