Patrol Inspector Clark,
On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country and to the Patrol. The area where you were killed in the Line of Duty-Cordova Island is where Bridge of The Americas(BOTA) and Chamizal National Park is now.
