Reflections for Corporal Clarence J. McClary

Cpl McClary is my great grandfather. I remember my grandmother telling me about her father and showing me the old news clipping about him. My grandmother was so proud of her father, as we all are.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 77th 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.
