In memory of "Officer Jerry Dormaier"

I knew a man,
So long ago,
He loved his job,
He was a Highway Patrol!

He stood for Justice,
And that's what you got,
If you did wrong,
You always were caught!

The badge on his chest,
And strips down his side,
He had on his uniform,
And he wore them with pride!

Then one cold night,
While doing their job,
They came upon a truck,
That had crashed in the fog!

As Officer Bean
Began setting the flares,
Down came the truck,
In which killed my friend Jer!

Their job is to protect us,
Yet at no certain time,
While saving our lives,
They put theirs the line!

So remember this well,
As it could happen one day,
That it may be your own life,
That they'll have to save!!

You will be remembered always for you selfless acts of kindness!

Jerry was my father's partner most of the year, but had to work different beats a couple of months a year. Dad was working a nearby beat (graveyard) and was one of the first to the scene. I was a junior in high school and we were worried when Dad wasn't home Christmas morning. When he did arrive, broken, he shook me and told me to never drive in fog, as Jerry's death was the result of an 18 wheeler traveling past the grapevine in horrible visibility. Jerry was setting up flares for another accident when the truck jack-kniffed after locking up as it sped into the prior accident scene, striking Jerry's unit which struck him. Tragedy that could have been prevented by some common sense. Dad missed Jerry terribly. God Bless.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 29th 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

"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.
