Lt. Moore,
You died in Omaha on the very day that I was born there. Perhaps in some ethereal way, you guided me into my vocation. Thank you for your service and may you rest well in peace.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

My uncle Pat was one of the finest men I had ever known, I keep a picture of him on my desk at work attached to an old model of an Indianan motorcycle. He was a people person with an uncommon since of humor. I have never had the opportunity to go back to see him but I am hoping within the next two years to get back to Council Bluffs to pay my respect. He died protecting the innocent and every police officer in this great country of ours needs to be given a word of thanks and the utmost respect, for their service to the community and their state, God knows they deserve it.
May God Bless you all
Sincerely
Ricke A. Moore

P.S I have the photo if anyone wants it

Dear Grandpa,
This is your grandson Andy Moore, the stories that I've heard are truly amazing. I never got to meet you, but I like to think you were something like my dad. You ARE a true hero. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

Love,
The Moore Family

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 41rst 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

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

"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.

Lt. Moore, you showed a lot of guts and compassion. You put yourself at risk in order to negotiate with someone in order to get HIM out alive. Your heroism has not been forgotten and, though I never had the honor of meeting you, I admire and respect you.

God Bless and Rest in Peace.
