To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 83rd anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first 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.

Sgt. Smith, today marks the 77th anniversary of your murder at the hands of some useless bum. We can only hope that he faced true justice, if not in this world, then in the next.

Protecting America’s railroads is not an easy task and has as many risks, if not more than any other police job. Our railroads are one of the things that made America strong and they needed people like you to help keep them safe. My Dad spent five years as a New York Central cop so I have an idea what you face day in and day out. For your efforts, I thank you. You are a hero.

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