Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My brother, a NYS Trooper, also made the ultimate sacrifice on July 6. As I was reading the today in history portion of the ODMP I felt I needed to honor your courage in the performance of duty as you served and protected your community. May God's eternal peace be yours and blessings upon your family.

I did not know Trooper Lather, however I came to know of him when I atteneded an Indiana State Police Career Camp during the summer of 1995 at Vincennces University, In.
I applied for the Memorial Scholarship in named his honor and was awarded the scholarship my sneior year of high school. It was with great honor that I accepted this scholarship and my hopes are to carry on his legacy by joining the ranks of the thin blue line in the near future. As part of a college class trip during the year of 1997 I was finally able to meet Trooper Lather's wife and thank her properly for allowing me the opportunity to carry on what her husband stood for as an officer and a person.
My prayers and sincerest thoughts are with the Lather family and if my dream comes true I to will carry on with the proud tradition as your late husband and father did.
