All honor to these brave souls who place everything on the line, that we might continue to survive and pursue happiness. 

"Greater love hath no man (or woman) than to lay down his (or her) life for a friend." 

Anyone who does this (or risks this) is undeniably our friend -- such friendship lights a nation and adorns this world.

D. Nelson

Here are memorial pages in honor of "Pittsburg's Finest" losses (it is right and proper to absolutely guarantee that they will never be forgotten):

• Officer John Joseph Buckley
• Inspector Raymond Joseph Giacomelli
• Officer Larry Elwood Lasater, Jr.
