Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Agent Williams,
On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a Border Patrol Agent but also when you served with the U.S. Navy as a crew member on the nuclear submarine USS Henry Clay. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Hey Brother,

Happy Birthday. It's not the same as calling you, but I guess this is what we have to do. When I think of you or have a dream, you still have a full head of hair and it's not gray like mine. I miss that we won't get to grow old together.

I read through this list of reflections - you touched a lot of people. We are proud of you as you would have been proud of yourself in your own humble way.

Miss you and tell Mom "Hi". We missing her.

Love ya
Al

I remember the day after it happened, we went to your guys condo and all us kids were outside playing. At 8 years old I was oblivious to what was happening. We all went inside and that's when I realized what happened, the news was doing a segment on you, everyone was crying, I remember my cousin vividly, pregnant and devastated. I remember your funeral, the sea of green coming out to show their support and respect for a fallen brother. I remember thinking " I wanna be a cop too". 20 years later I had some of the biggest honors bestowed upon me, the first, Emma presented me with you, my silent partner at the academy. The second was Emma pinning my badge on me for my graduation. I remember thinking for a moment how awesome it would have been for you to be there , but you were, every test I took you were there, every run when I felt I couldn't run anymore you were there, every scenario you were there, during the holidays when moral was low and I was ready to pack my bags and go home, you were there, everyday for those chaotic, but fun, 6 months you were there. I'm still in the beginning stages of my career but I know whenever I need you...you'll be there, watching my six. Rest easy Silent Partner, we got the watch from here.

Thank you for your service my brother. I hope you know how much your family means to the brothers and sisters that you left behind. The daughter that you never got to meet brought many of us to tears today with her observations over the past 2 decades. You will never be forgotten.

You are gone but not forgotten
And, as dawns another year
In lonely hours of thinking
Thoughts of you are always near.
Many think the wound is healed
But little do they know
of the sorrow
That lies in the heart concealed.

On the 15th year of his passing, I can only say Agent Thomas Williams was taken away too soon and is greatly missed by friends and family. I am glad to have known and worked with him at Brown Field Station and wish he had more time with his wife and child. This year, we will remember all the fallen Border Patrol Agents at the 25th Annual Candlelight Vigil in Washington DC but we will especially remember Tommy and pray for his wife and daughter.

In 1998, I served with Tommy and Brad Curtis on DISRUPT out in East County, and while I only knew hom for six months, we became friends. I remember his wife was pregnant with their daughter when the accident happened. I have something from him that would mean something to his daughter, now that she is older, if any agent can help me get in touch. I am stationed at the Marysville Border Patrol Station, my name is Goff and the station number is 810-364-9278. God Bless You Tommy. You are gone but never forgotten brother.

Tom,
High School was so so long ago, I thought of you today, as I send off my son's application to attend a school to receive Law Enforecement training. I know that your career with the Border Patrol is one reason that Tanner is looking to this life,
You were always a great guy and are greatly missed, Rest in peace Tom.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 11th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

A decade has passed and you have not been forgotten. Those that love you will always carry you in their hearts and think of you every day. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones and protect them, also watch over those still out on patrol guarding over the Thin Blue Line. You have not been forgotten.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Hey Tommy,

Coming up on nine years and I've been thinking about you and Jesse quite a bit lately. You're never really that far from my thoughts and there are still several of us around here who talk about you two fairly regularly.

Miss the good times we shared and I know we'll share more again someday.

Visited you and Jesse several times while I was in DC recently, it helps to feel a bit closer to you there.

Miss you Tommy.

Tommy, Kyle and I were just talking about you and Jesse the other day in muster, while discussing another In The Line departed Agent. We miss you. I went by the scene in ART last year and left a BRF mug there. You are not forgotten.

I think of you and Jessie a lot, remembering the times we had. I laugh when I think of the waitering in Lake Havasu.
