You worked in one of the toughest places a cop can with pay that I understand is notorious for being much too low, and yet you did your job with honor. You honor us all with your dedication and your sacrifice. You are a hero but then again, you were before you were murdered, not because of it.

God Bless and may you forever, Rest in Peace, Hermano.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Agent Joaquin Correa-Ortega and the extended law enforcement family of the Puerto Rico Police Department. Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Agent Joaquin Correa-Ortega,

When you made your decision to enter law enforcement you became blessed:

For the Lord said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 ESV

When you entered into the infamous undercover arms purchase on Monday, March 10, 2014, you answered God's call to serve:

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8 ESV

As a result,you sacrificed your life so that others might live and be protected:

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ESV

I, along with your family, friends and comrades, will mourn your sacrifice and loss in the line of duty:

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 ESV

Now go! Rise up! And do battle against evil as an angel for the Lord!

In God's merciful love,

Pastor Steven R. Closs
