To the family, friends and colleagues of Border Patrol Agent Leopoldo Cavazos, Jr.
My heart is filled with great sadness at the lost of your loved one and fellow Border Patrol Agent.
We in the law enforcement community both active and retired, having walked the line of good over evil, knowing that at any moment a call for help may require us to make the ultimate sacrifice for our fellow man.
For Law Enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
You left us doing what you chose to do.
What you were trained to do.
Performing the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do....serving your community making a better and safer place for us all.
Rest in Peace my brother, YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN !!!

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Border Patrol. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.
