Very cool! I wish I could be apart of this. This is a tragic event and all of us need to show our respect to these men and women who are the guards of our country roaming a dangerous border protecting us from the cowards who choose to sneak into our country to smuggle drugs and illegal aliens. Our prayers and best wishes go out to the family of this fallen hero.
