Your heroism and service is honored today, the 110th 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 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.

thank you for the oppurtunity to remember captain john day and all the other nopd members who have passed protecting others.

i'll close with a statement first uttered over a 100 yrs ago it's not the way they died that made them heros, it is the way they lived knowing on any day they might be called on to die that others may live.
