It truly broke my heart to see the photograph of Terrell holding his infant son and to hear that he died in the line of duty protecting our country. Many of us, civilians and citizens, are grieving today with the Horne family and Coast Guard family over this sad and senseless loss. May God comfort and tenderly bless all of Terrell's family and friends, now and in the difficult days ahead. Much love to you all from many hearts that you'll never meet, but who infinitely thank you for your sacrifices to make our world a safer place.

Another tragedy and we so often forget our brothers in the USCG. Hard way to be awakened to the fact that these brothers, too, are constantly putting themselves out there - for the rest of us! Peace and comfort to Officer Horne's family, co-workers, and unborn child. May God grant that child the knowledge of what a unique and special person her father is!

As a former Coast Guardsman 5 years served, and a 31 year Law Enforcement veteran, I feel the loss....The Coast Guard provides so much to our Country in the way of SaR, environmental protection, as well as the Law Enforcement arm of the waterways. You served well, Chief...the lord needs you in the ranks of his Guardians...watch over us all...Semper Paratus!

Rest well my brother for your sacrifice was not in vain. As you take the watch over us in heaven, we'll take care of it down here. May God bless the family physical, law enforcement, and Coast Guard with peace and comfort.

God didn’t 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.

There's a legend in the Coast Guard that has been retold for centuries. While the places and circumstances may be altered through time, the legend remains the same.

One cold night a freighter was disabled due to high winds and towering waves. As the ship lay broken on the rocks they did the only thing they could do....call the United States Coast Guard. As the Coast Guard boat crew readied to launch, one excited civilian approached a grizzled surfman and told him that it was madness to go out into such huge waves.

The Coast Guardsman gave a terse reply that has gone down into history. He simply said, "Regulations say that you've got to go out, but you don't have to come back."

Thanks Chief Horne for keeping our nation safe. When confronted with you last call you did not waiver and bravely went out. You are a credit to all of us who have worn the Treasury Shield on our forearms. May you always have fair seas and following tides.

My dad spent 20 years in the Coast Guard and if he were still with us I know he would send his sympathies.

God speed and may your family find peace.

CPO Horne,
My heart breaks for your wife & children. You were a hero by serving our country in keeping our coastal borders safe. There will not be justice on this earth for your killers but there will, one day, be justice. I pray for strength & support for your wife & for your children to grow up knowing their Daddy was a hero.

My husband did this work in the CG for some time. I tried not to think of the dangers. After all, the CG is a life-saving branch of the service, right? Of course these men and women are in danger all the time. They are also a law enformcement agency. My heart goes out to you and your family. I cannot imagine your shock, grief and sadness. May God bless your children and may they know their Dad was a brave man trying to keep our coastline safe. Peace to you as you walk through your grief. Margie Pasero
