Your selfless heroism and service to protecting this country will be recognized in a very special way April 25, 2012. We are planning to present your organization a prototype Light Tactical Vehicle named in your honor. It is designated the BT (Brian Terry) Wildcat Interceptor. This austere environment vehicle is intended to not only honor your memory but to inspire those that continue the good fight. Thank you for your service.

I remember hearing about this tragedy when it happened and my heart broke for Brian's family. Brian's name has been referenced a number of times in discussions about the recent Trayvon Martin situation as many are offended that our President has spoken out about this senseless killing but rarely does so about those of our fallen soldiers, officers, agents.
While I don't personally feel that the comparison is relevant, it brought me to reflect on Brian. I have never served but I know many who have (including a grandfather & brother) and if it weren't for knee injuries suffered as an athlete in high school I most certainly would have. I have the utmost respect for all of you. I know that however deep the sacrifice you will do whatever it takes to keep us and our country safe.
Brian clearly was one of the best. I respect & cherish Brian and his brothers & sisters in arms more than I can express in words. The bond you share is amazing and I am so truly sorry for your loss.
To the Terry family, may you find comfort in knowing that citizens of our country continue to mourn with you and you will always remain in my thoughts & prayers.
I am not sure this is appropriate so no offense to the Marines...Semper Fi ,Brian - may you rest in peace.

To Agent Terry's family..., Thank you for raising a man that was true to his country and family. I wish there was a way that would bring him to you as the hero he is. Until then all i can say is, "Thank you for giving our protectors a man that we believe in, and for our loss and yours, someone that we could believe in." He will never be forgotten, as a defender of the USA or the defender of his beliefs....

December 15th will mark the one year anniversary of the murder of Brian A. Terry. On that day in 2010, our family lost an amazing son, brother, uncle, and friend. Our country lost an incredible young American who was fully committed to his job in keeping our Nation safe and its borders secure. Brian’s life was dedicated to public service as a U.S. Marine, police officer, U.S. Border Patrol agent and finally as a member of the Border Patrol’s elite tactical unit known as BORTAC. Throughout his life, Brian maintained an incredible work ethic that made his many successes possible. We believe that these are the traits that so many people have since recognized. He is remembered as an extremely proud American and a symbol for all that is good.
Brian’s death has been extremely difficult to accept. As most know, we had to learn from the news media that two assault rifles carried by the men that killed Brian and found at the murder scene were linked to Operation Fast and Furious, a failed gun trafficking operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Department of Justice. We find it incomprehensible that members of ATF and DOJ would embark on such an egregious operation and then try to conceal the link between this failed investigation and Brian’s murder. Much to our dismay, no one in ATF or DOJ has come forward to accept responsibility for Operation Fast and Furious.
Our priority continues to be the successful arrest and prosecution of all the individuals involved in Brian’s murder. However, we will continue to press for answers and accountability from our government. Those responsible for such a misguided and fundamentally flawed operation must be held fully responsible for their decisions which allowed so many weapons to flow to the criminal element on both sides of the border. We now believe that if it can be shown that laws were broken, then all those responsible for Fast and Furious should be held criminally liable.
We would like to acknowledge the work conducted by agents from the FBI Tucson Office in the homicide investigation and the continued work by federal prosecutors in the San Diego U.S. Attorney’s Office who are working to bring Brian’s killers to justice. We would also like to thank those members of ATF that recognized Operation Fast and Furious as fundamentally flawed and came forward with information that exposed this foolish operation to the American public. These individuals have continued to speak the truth at great professional risk.
Finally, we would like to extend our sincere condolences to the families of those affected by the violence in Mexico caused by the guns of Operation Fast and Furious. Please know that we, as most Americans, see you as victims as well. We will continue to press our government for justice as we will not allow Brian’s death to be in vain.

Brian. My heartfelt sadness and condolences to the loved ones you left behind. May they live with your happiest and proudest moments. There are no words for the thanks I feel for who you were. Perhaps when my time comes, we'll meet and I will thank you for being a Warrior Angel guarding the gates of Heaven.

Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Rest in peace, Brian.

Your memory as the courageous, honorable, dedicated warrior you are will always live in the hearts of those who feel the deep void and loss of a hero lost too soon. Not having met in person, I got to know you through your own words as memorialized by Darrell Issa, your family, and your soon to have been fiance Sarah Brelsford.
There's a strong passion inside to bring your heroism, bravery, and courage to light, in name and spirit of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry, a loss in vain won't be left to rest.
Rest In Peace Young Warrior ~ Justice and Public Awareness for you and your purpose is for us to fight.
