Officer Perrine et al,
An epic tragedy in the annuls of American law enforcement. It's hard to believe 4 officers were killed that day. Thanks for your sacrifice and for your fine service to the citizens of Kansas City. You bravely attempted to save others and were cut down despite your efforts. You are not forgotten. We appreciate what you all did that day.

My name is James Byrd. Charles was my Grandpa's brother. They were both LEO's so was my Dad. I even tried it for a year as a DS. They are all gone now. God l miss them. Back then its wasnt just a job it was a life style, an honor people looked up to. Wish it was that way today.

How sad that this public servant had to pay with his life for his dedication to his duty to serve and protect. My condolences to his family whom I'm sure has not forgotten and of course to his law enforcement family. Rest in peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixty-first 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
