Reflections for Border Patrol Agent Enrique J. Rositas, Jr.
Rick,
I can't believe you're gone my brother. I seems like only yesterday that we were visiting before Sunday School. You were a true friend. My brother in Christ and in law enforcement, you were a credit to the US Border Patrol. I know you carried yourself at work just like you did when you were off. I am blessed to have known you. I'm going to miss your smile and your friendship. Rest easy my brother .

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
