Two Arizona Border Patrol Agents Died May 12, 2011
My daughter-in-law who works at an airport in
Arizona called this morning
to ask who died, because the flags are flying half
mast at the Arizona
Airport. She
also noted the flags at Arizona State University ASU are
not half mast.
My research discovered the fact that flags are being
flown half mast at all Federal
locations until sunset Sunday May 15, 2011 in honor
of Peace Officer Memorial
I did find the following unrelated notable fact as
well.
May 12, 2011 - Arizona Governor Brewer has ordered
flags at all offices and
facilities in Arizona lowered to half-staff immediately
May 12, 2011 until
sunset in honor of two Border Patrol agents who died early this morning
as a result of an accident \when their SUV was struck by a train near
Interstate 8 in the Gila Bend area.
Edward Rojas an agent since 2000 and Hector Clark an
agent since 2001 were
assisting other officials in pursuing a group of
suspected drug smugglers
when the accident occurred. All individuals are
encouraged to join in this tribute.
