Thread: In praise of the Border Patrol

On this memorial weekend as we thank those who fought and died to defend our freedom and way of life I would also like to thank the US Border Patrol. These men and women get very little respect for all they do. They place their lives on the line dealing with simple illegals crossing the border to crazed out druggies trying to smuggle dope into our country.
They spend countless hours hiking through the deserts in the heat and cold, they are stabbed with cactus and bit by rattlesnakes, they injure their knees and ankles stomping over the hills. They too also die in the preformance of their duty, over taken by heat and exhaustion or out right killed by some fool who would rather take a life than spend a few months in jail for his illegal activity.
On this memorial weekend my thanks and prayers go out to the US Border Patrol as well.
May God bless you and watch over you as you protect America.

Excellent point, MountainDog, thank-you for the reminder.

Thank you for posting this MD.

To think that our Border Patrol do not get the respect they deserve in our country is another example of how upside down so many things are.

If anyone from the Border Patrol reads this, know that here we respect you, appreciate you and thank you for your service to our country.
