Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A P.A.s Prayer

Lord, we never asked that You always set things up
So that we could cut sign into the sun.
Even when we sweated gallons in the heat and
Our teeth chattered in the freezing cold,
We never asked You to stop the elements
Just for us.
In the midst of gasoline rationing and
Budget cuts,
We still went through doors,
We jumped the freights,
We rode the line.
We never expected You to change things
Just for us.
When one of us or an innocent was wounded or killed
We still trusted You;
Even though we didn’t always understand.
We just pray, Lord, that You give us grace enough
To live our lives as Your officers
As we continue the line watch
On this side of the Jordan River~
That when we finally get to the High County,
Beyond the timberline,
A place where smugglers don ‘t exist,
Where the water’s cool,
The coffee’s hot,
And where all of us can shoot one-inch groups;
That You’ll look at the visa
We got at Your Embassy down here and say:
“Welcome home, P.A, this is the Best detail of your life!”

My condolences to the Nevarez family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I always thought of you as a brother. I keep hoping this is all a dream and I'll talk to you soon. Myself and this country honor you, and thank you for your service. One day I'll go to Spain and run with the bulls, I hope you'll still be by my side.
I Love You, Man
Looking forward to seeing you again one day.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Agent Tourscher and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Agent Tourscher has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family and friends of Agent Tourscher, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Agent Tourscher is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Mr. Tourscher, Mrs. Tourscher, and Lee,

I am incredibly sorry for your loss. My mom told me about the incident as I was walking back from class and I was stunned. I didn't know David, but I remember Lee had nothing but good things to say about him and truly looked up to him. My heart goes out to every one of you.
