Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 63rd anniversary year 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.

Sergeant Woodson, today is the 63rd year since you were murdered. I cannot say I’m sorry to read that your killer was executed. You were involved in helping to protect one of America’s most vital resources, it’s Railroads. Though the railroad has lost some of it’s significance over the years, it is still one of the most important means of transportation available and women and men like yourself are so very much needed to keep those ways safe and secure. You did your job and made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s because of your work, not your death that you are a hero. It’s just sad that your death is what brought your individual efforts to the attention of the rest of the world.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
