To my Ancestor: We are still here, from North Texas to the Rio Grande and still serving Texas in some form of public service. You were the first of us here and paved our way. To Texas!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 171rst 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
