To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 76th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. 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.

Ptl. Baxter, I have been struck by a motor vehicle as well while on duty, it's not fun but my injuries were minor. How tragic that many lives are lost by this type of incident. No doubt the 11 years you gave to the Boston Police Dept. were quite honorable and you were missed greatly. You have not been forgotten and I thank you for your service to the citizens of Boston and the Commonwealth as a whole.

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

No officer should be without a reflection. I send this one to thank you for giving the ultimate sacrifice and for paving the way for the future for us to follow, on the thin blue line. Thank you.
