To Agent Clarks Family:
I am truly sorry for your tragedy. Mere words do not even begin to help the pain. I pray that the children are ok, its too heartbreaking to think about. Please stick together as a family and this will be just a little easier. Everyone will be dealing with this loss in his or her own way, but as long as you all stick together as a family there is nothing that will tear you apart.

To BPA Clark:
I am sorry for you being taken in the way you were. Please do what you can to reach out to your family and let them know that you are ok, and you are there for them, I know you can do it. My husband is up there as well, and has visited me before in my dreams. I salute you sir, thank you for your service in keeping us safe. GodSpeed, Sir.

I have only two years with CBP, but everyday CBP officers put on their uniforms to do their duty in protecting the citizens of the United States. We recognize the risks that our job presents, but chose to never waiver from our job. You did your job, now rest, so the rest of us can take over for you.

My prayers are with your family and the family of Agent Rojas. May you find peace in knowing that your larger CBP family will not forget you or your family members.

As I begin my career, I will do my best to live up to Agents Clark and Rojas.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"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.

To family and friends:
'God didnt promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow, sun without rain;
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and light for the way'.

Rest in peace Agent Clark.

God Bless Agent Clark, his family and friends. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
