Reflections for Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry
Thank you for your sacrifice, hero. Rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones.
When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous have a refuge. Proverbs 14:32

My heart goes out to your family Terry. I missed you when you left the department but was lucky enough to see you out a few times. You had a great sense of humor and could be a pain in the butt at the same time. Prayers are with you and your family. As you make your transformation from this level to the next do not be afraid. You will be guided by loved ones that went before you. The enemy killed the body but your spirit will always be alive and probably playing tricks. You helped all you could while on the earth and may you learn more. You will be deeply missed as you are deeply loved. May you live forever in all of our hearts. I know you will in mine.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

Our condolences to our brother and sisters in the Border Patrol and to the family of BPA Terry. We may be a bit dysfunctional at times in CBP, but we all take a loss seriously and feel the sorrow of a death of a member of our ranks. Holding the line is a dangerous and perilous mission, but done with honor and diligence of those in CBP and especially the Border Patrol. Rest easy BPA Terry, you are in our thoughts and prayers as are your family, friends, and fellow agents. God Speed.
