“1 year ago today, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry lost his life doing what he had done his entire life: serving his country. A native of Detroit, Brian Terry served with distinction in the U.S. Marine Corps and then as a police officer back home in Michigan. In 2007, Agent Terry was offered a job with the United States Border Patrol--a job he'd always dreamed of. Agent Terry lost his life during a shootout with armed thugs in Rio Rico, Arizona--just north of the Mexican border. Shortly after his death, his sister, Michelle, told the Associated Press, ``His dream all his life was to be a Federal agent. It was always, `I want to be a cop. I want to get the bad guys.' It was his life. He said it was dangerous, but he loved what he did and wanted to make a difference.'' Mr. Speaker, we will never forget Agent Terry and the sacrifice he made. We will continue to keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. ____________________”
