A P.A.s Prayer

Lord, we never asked that You always set things up
So that we could cut sign into the sun.
Even when we sweated gallons in the heat and
Our teeth chattered in the freezing cold,
We never asked You to stop the elements
Just for us.
In the midst of gasoline rationing and
Budget cuts,
We still went through doors,
We jumped the freights,
We rode the line.
We never expected You to change things
Just for us.
When one of us or an innocent was wounded or killed
We still trusted You;
Even though we didn’t always understand.
We just pray, Lord, that You give us grace enough
To live our lives as Your officers
As we continue the line watch
On this side of the Jordan River~
That when we finally get to the High County,
Beyond the timberline,
A place where smugglers don ‘t exist,
Where the water’s cool,
The coffee’s hot,
And where all of us can shoot one-inch groups;
That You’ll look at the visa
We got at Your Embassy down here and say:
“Welcome home, P.A, this is the Best detail of your life!”

Rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

God bless you and your family Agent Aguilar. Our hearts go out to you and all of the Yuma Sector Border Patrol Agents. I have faith that the driver will be caught and will be forced to face all of us soon.

Take care and keep watch over us.

I had the honor of working alongside Luis in Yuma. He exemplified what a Border Patrol Agent should be. Hard working, brave, honest and willing to take the time to show the "Trainees" how to do the job right. He became a close friend, whom I will miss terribly. The US Border Patrol, and the nation as a whole, lost a true hero when Luis was tragically, murderously taken from us. I pray that the animals responsible for Louis' death are quickly apprehended and justice is visited upon them.

To my former colleagues at YUS, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I admire your ability to hold the line, despite your grief and loss.

To Louis' wife and children, may God take you in his hand and provide you comfort at your darkest hour. My prayers are with you, and you shall not be forgotten.

God Speed, Louis, your time here, although too short, was a blessing to all you touched. May you rest in peace, my friend. Vaya con Dios.

To my brother in green, you will never be forgotten. To the family left behind, you will never be alone. I am sorry for what you are going through. I cannot promise you a happy ending nor that the road of life will become easier, or that all will work out in it's own in the end. What I can promise you is that we, the Peer Support Team and the United Satates Border Patrol will be there for you and your family always. My love and prayer go out to you and yours. May Gods merciful hands be layed upon you and your family always.

Another Officer has fallen, Lord, You must have had a very special reason for needing him now, which is unknown to us. Officer Aquilar is now standing his watch in Your Kingdom. He watches and now protects ALL of us. God bless you Officer Aquilar, and thank you for all your time of service and God bless your family for allowing you to serve. Dear Lord take care of him, for he is special and you now have another fine Officer.
