Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 99 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 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.

I am John Charles Cash's grandson through his son Roy M. Cash. I live in Boca Raton, FL and was born in East Point, GA in 1944. I had always heard of my Grandfather's story but never knew all the details...it was very gratifying when I found this site. I have 3 siblings: David T. Cash, Los Angeles, CA; Ouida B. Cash, Detroit, MI; Deborah N. Cash, San Francisco, CA...all John's grandchildren. He has numerous great and great-great grandchildren. I would love to hear from anyone concerning John Charles Cash and his decendants.

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premisesof all its undesirables, look with kindly and professionaleyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil, that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people. Amen.
