Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I can hardly believe 25 years has past. You were more than a cousin to me, you were more like a brother. When we were growing up your house was just two houses north of mine, there were four us that grew up together. You were so happy when you got the job at the jail and it breaks my heart that something that you loved to do ended so soon and so tragically. Losing you has been one of the biggest heartaches of our family. I often wonder who you'd be today, would you be married? Would you have kids? Would you still be working in law enforcement? I wanted to let you know that we have not forgotten you and the pain of losing you still exists. RIP Mister Green Jeans

Althought I did not know you personally, I think of you every year that we celebrate the birth of our daughter. You see, my daughter was born the very same day you lost your life. She was born that morning at Vencor Hospital. My husband, a volunteer firefighter for LaGrange, IN. left the hospital that afternoon and found himself responding to the fatal call. I keep a memorial ribbon from the funeral service in my jewelery box in your memory. Your sacrifice nor you will ever be forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 14th 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.

Rest In Peace

POLICE OFFICER
PHILA PA

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
