Reflections for Senior Special Agent John Francis Capano

It is so sad when a man that is only trying to do what is right, especially one that dedicates his life on the line .....for us, when they get killed by a totally selfish man! God is there to comfort in times of need and He is our avenger....

John, it is with a heavy heart that we in ATF mourn your loss. You are a true hero, you answered the call even though you didn't have to, but then again you didn't know any other way. The person you are is what made you a SPECIAL Agent. You will never be forgotten my friend. John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends"
