Your watch ended 133 years ago. Bless you Officer Fillion and may others give you the courtesy and respect you deserve. I encourage people to go to the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington D.C. and see the memorial dedicated to fallen officers.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 132nd 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.
