Officer Down Memorial Page

On behalf of my family and myself I would like to offer our gratitude to all those over the past 42 years have expressed their thoughts, prayers, and condolences, and who have strived to keep the memories of George and Ted alive. Thanks also to everyone who participated in the search after George and Ted were reported "missing" on June 17th 1967. My Father and Mother and myself witnessed firsthand the efforts of all those who participated in the search since we had flown to the Temecula area to "wait" (like everyone else in the country) for what we hoped and prayed was going to be a joyful reunion with my brother George and Ted. Through the tireless work of a some very special people, what was at first their own personal vision many years ago, became a dream and now a reality. The renaming of the Murrieta Station as the Theodore L. Newton and George F. Azrak Border Patrol Station will serve as evidence of the culmination of 85 years of service provided by the U.S. Border Patrol in the Temecula Valley. The legacy of those who came before and those who fell in the line of duty will never be forgotten.
