Gone, but never forgotten. Remembered always by family, friends, and coworkers. A man with strength, love, and unwavering courage. To the man who raised me, loved me, and spent every moment he could with me. I’ll love you forever and always. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of you

I saw the tail end of the incident when Agent Christian passed. I used to live on the 18th floor of Westchester park facing Greenbelt Middle. I was up late playing chess when I heard the shots, lots of them. I worked at a camera store and since we had such an amazing view, I paid for a good set of Nikon 10x50 binocs. Through those I saw the tail end of a shadowy figure firing into a maroon Caprice with a small automatic weapon (turned out to be a MAC 10 or 11). The figure ran off and police vehicles that I had never seen before (these weren't the usual Greenbelt or PG County police) came from what seemed like every direction. I watched a courageous first responders attempted to bring back Agent Christian.

I remember this event every year on Memorial Day. Tonight is the 22nd anniversary.

My thoughts and condolences for Agent Christian's family and friends.

Just watched an episode of FBI Files that dealt with this agent's demise. Where I live, Northern Ireland, we are no stranger to officers of the law being slain in cowardly fashion, in the line of duty. The shadow of evil is cast far and wide in our world and would prevail if it were not for selfless actions of dedicated officers and agents like Mr. Christian. Wherever we are, we owe such a great debt to them for putting themselves in harm's way that others may live.

I would like to dedicate my final quarter of my Associates of Science in Criminal Justice to your memory. I’m currently attending school to become an FBI agent like my father, who was a friend of yours during your time in the FBI. Thank you for you service to this country.

I worked with Special Agent Christian in the Washington Field Office at the time of his brutal murder.

I remember going through the FBI tour at the J.Edgar Hoover building, and Special Agent Christian was the agent performing the tour shoot duty that day. He recognized me sitting in the audience along with two of my fellow WFO co workers. He very kindly at the end of his demonstration pointed us out to the other people on the tour as fellow employees who worked as support for the Special Agents in their investigations. He called us the backbone of the Bureau who made it possible for the Agents to do their jobs.

I have never forgotten than day, or the day of his tragic loss.

Lord, "I thank You" for allowing my path to cross Bill's years ago in Detroit. It gave me the opportunity to become friends w/a man of such strong character, a gentleman's gentleman, a caring soul to the world, who gave the ultimate sacrifice. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord..." Psalm 37:23

Bill was a friend. Although on different squads working different programs, we were agents together at WFO. He was an exceptional agent who took the time to mentor new agents and was a friend to everyone. Every time I enter an FBI office and walk past the Martyrs, I stop for a moment in front of Bill's picture and reflect upon his sacrifice.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 17th 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.

I was so sad to hear this, even all these years later. I have just seen what happened on a TV documentary.
