Your heroism and service is honored today, the 103rd 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.

Philadelphia has lost far too many officers, regardless of how or why. You have been immortalized here and rightfully so for your efforts and your sacrifice.

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

For Policeman William Saunders:

Our duty as law officers is one of risk. Sometimes the risks are routine and encountered in using the equipment we need to accomplish protection and safety for others. We regret that our brother Bill would sustain injuries in the course of his duty that would take his life. But, fate has deemed that it would be so.

We pray for Bill's family and others and hope that his memory is alive as a once proud and noble soldier-of-the-law.

I am proud to render a rememberance salute today for Officer William Saunders, a hero from our past.
