Your heroism and service is honored today, the thirteenth 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.

Tpr Wagner,
We never met as you are on the job several years before me. Your brothers and sisters of the DSP remember you not only today, the 13th anniversary of your EOW, but everyday. Rest in peace.

Trooper Wagner,

I recently met a friend of yours. He told me the story of your untimely death. You have not been forgotten. Now one more Trooper knows your story.

"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.

Each year, your parents gather with friends, in your memory. I am proud to say that I am counted among that group. Although it is not an even trade, this is just a portion of the good that has come from your death.

Your parents have become very important parts of the Concerns of Police Survivors and have been of invaluable assistance to many others.

If for no other reason, this means that your death was not in vain.

I regret that I never had the opportunity to know you.

Sister Wagner,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

Sandra, you are a TRUE HERO. I met your parents this morning at the Philadelphia Navy yard for the ceremony before the run from Washington to DC. Such sweet people. Please know that your sacrifices will NEVER be forgotten. You live on in the memory of other law enforcement officers everywhere and in those who were fortunate enough to share their lives with you. Say hello to Bert up there. You both are in such a safe and beautiful place.

We in UK COPS learned of Sandra's tragic death through contact with her parents, who are among the people who inspired and encouraged us to extend this great organization into the UK.

I wear Sandra's sunflower pin now and then, a reminder of the loss of such a young life, and through her parents, of the ongoing part she has played in the creation of UK COPS.
