Memorial at Courthouse


This memorial to Deputy Sheriff Larry Griffith stands in front of the Lassen County Courthouse. The memorial plaque reads:
Lassen County Deputy Sheriff
Larry Griffith
was killed in the line of duty
March 2, 1995
On that date, Deputies Larry Griffith, Henry Mahan, William Freitas, and Wayne Aldridge were on duty on the Madeline Plains and were ambushed by a gunman.
The community honors those who go in harm's way to serve and protect us, and mourns the loss of one of our own.
Placed by
Rotary Club of Susanville
Lassen County Peace Officers Assoc.

Randee: Yo, yo, yo. Dude, what's going down? C'mon Dawg! Heh, heh, heh. For me, this was a nice post. I like this one, Dawg. I like the way you paid homage to a fallen hero. Very nice. Way to go, Jana.

Crowd: Yay, yay, yay.

PaulAhh: I agree with Randee.

Crowd: Yay, yay, whoopee!

PaulAhh: I think. I think ... first of all, you look wonderful today! I love your outfit! You look like a star!

Crowd: Yay, yay!

PaulAhh: This is a marvelous post. You, you ... well, you have really pushed the envelope here. What a wonderful tribute to one of our heroes. And, Randee, correct me if I'm wrong, this is courthouse week, isn't it?

Crowd: Yay, yay!

SighMon: Jana. I acktually agree with PaulAhh!

Crowd: Yay, yay, yay!

SighMon: Oh shut up! No, Jana, for once, PaulAhh is coherent! This post is what it's all about! You have made the right choice in choosing to recognize a fallen hero. This could do it for you Jana. You may be the dark horse in this competition after this post.

Crowd: Yay, yay, yay!

SignMon: And, Jana, I have to say, some may not like the way we judge, but I assure you it is all in good fun, and we love your blog. Don't we PaulAhh?

Nice to have the Rotary club publicly acknowledge those men and women who put themselves on the line to protect us.

I apologise for this "mass comment" but I could do with your help today over at South Shields Daily Photo. Help promote the rights of photographers!

Applauding your local Rotary Club, for putting up this memorial.

Had to tell my husband, since he has been active in our local Rotary Club for years and years and years.
