Officer Down Memorial Page

As I look at the faces of the men and women here, I see the faces of my co-workers. I can imagine each of them shooting the bull and swapping war stories at choir practice as the meat sizzles on the grill. I see them laughing, pranking and teasing their fellow agents, as we often do when we relieve stress. I wish that each of them were still here to share the good times.

And I feel compelled to look at each of the faces here and remember…to remember that each of them made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country and we should NEVER forget them or their service.

Too often the sacrifices of those who serve our country are overlooked or casually dismissed by the very public they served so selflessly. But WE should never forget them…each and every one of them. May they each rest in peace eternally in God’s loving embrace.

Patrol Agent Rector, on this 50th anniversary of your tragic death, please know that all America truly appreciates the work you did and the 28 years you served protecting our borders. What is face by today’s Border Patrol Agent is incredible and the workload is overwhelming. I know that the men and women like you who came before are acting as guiding hands today.

May you continue to Rest in Peace and God Bless You, Brother.
