Your heroism and service is honored today, the 76th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Officer Shaw- Your sacrifice went unnoticed by Arlington County for almost 70 years! I was fortunate enough to happen upon a newspaper article about your death and do the proper research to finally have you recognized. Every time I drive past the site of the accident on Route 1 I will think of you and your service to the citizens of Arlington County. I will continue my efforts to honor you until the Arlington County Police Department and Arlington County Board of Directors officially acknowledge your sacrifice.
