Reflections for Investigator Wallace Monroe Simpson

Virginia Trooper S. R. Gemmill who was with you at your side and wounded in the face that fateful day has passed on. He always spoke highly of you and always referred to you as a trusted friend. He always said that he will meet you someday and catch up on what's going on and have a drink. You and Trooper Gemmill RIP and have a drink on me.

You are remembered today by a mother of a fallen officer. My son, Larry Lasater died when shot on April 23, 2005 during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers while serving with the Pittsburg, California Police Department.

Wallace, your sacrifice is not forgotten. Rest in Peace. Your memory is honored and revered 59 years after your death and will continue to be. This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Wallace gave to his community and the citizens of Virginia, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on October 23, 1951.

DAY IS DONE
GONE THE SUN,
FROM THE HILLS, FROM THE LAKE, FROM THE SKIES.

ON THE LAND OR THE DEEP,
SAFE IN SLEEP.

LOVE, GOOD NIGHTM,

NIGHT IS ON.

THANKS AND PRAISE,
FOR OUR DAYS,
'NEATH THE SUN, 'NEATH THE STARS, 'NEATH THE SKY.
AS WE GO THIS WE KNOW,
GOD IS NIGH.

It is said that EVIL flourishes when good men do nothing.

To the family of this brave Officer who gave all so that others might live, I extend my deepest sympathy and gratitude for your continued sacrifice.

To those of us who were left behind who still wear the badge, the mission continues... tomorrow is another Tour Of Duty... May God comfort you with the knowledge that you DO make a differance.
