Agent Epling,
Thank you for your service to our Country and the Patrol. And to Agent Epling's family and fellow Agents at Yuma Station-please accept my deepest sympathy. It always hurts when a fellow LEO dies in the line of duty but especially when it is a fellow Border Patrol Agent. We do a thankless job day after day for the public(who seem to be ignorant or just apathetic to what we do). Whether it be sign cutting, transportation check, responding to sensor traffic or just sitting on an "X."BPA's are always there willing to go the extra mile as evidenced by Agent Epling's dedicated service.

Rest in Peace and God Bless you,
Mike Casey

U.S. Border Patrol Agents are America's silent frontline defenders. Little is publicized about there daily duties and accomplishments but yet they fight for our defense day and night to preserve this great country from illegal intruders, drug smugglers and possible terrorists. Rest in peace, Silent Warrior, and know I will be praying for your family, friends and fellow agents. God bless and thank you for your service to this fine country.
