Thank you Agent Gonzales, and especially to your family, wife, children, and parents, for your service as a United States Marine Corps veteran and United States Border Patrol agent. I am retired law enforcement, served a tour of duty at Falfurrias, TX., and by the way I just love everything about the state of Texas, but cannot imagine what it must have been like working as an agent during the COVID pandemic. You are so brave and my HERO and the the HERO of many more for your dedication to duty. Just wish I had the chance to work with you. Wishing you rest in peace. My prayers tp your family. They deserve the best.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

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.

By Jon F. Hooper

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
