Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sgt. Graham,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of California. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections Officer.

I miss you Mary. I hope you read this. I was at the Sacramento memorial today, on behalf of all the children who lost their dad 50 years ago today. It was locked up in a chain link fence, due to the vandalism that occurred last year during the riots. It made me sad that I couldn't find our father's names. I hope one day I can see the names, and I hope we all continue to heal.

This incident and the era that it occurred is eerily similar to what is going on today with LE being villainized and repeated criminal offenders and murderers are being treated as victims and heroes. Whatever justice your assailants faced here it will hopefully be a fraction of the justice they will receive at a later time in a different place. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

This is my grandfather unfortunately I never got the chance to meet because his life was taken from not only him but from all of us as well.

Thank you grandpa for giving your life to protect others. You will always be my hero. I love you and you are always in my heart.

On the 39th anniversary of Sergeant Graham's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Sergeant Graham is not forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 38th 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.

I hope to one day meet some of your family at a COPS function.
