HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES BORDER PATROL! This 98th year has been a truly historic milestone for the Patrol.
Experiencing all-time historic record highs in illegal immigration, more rescues than in any other year prior; and more Agent deaths in this year than ever before;
Our Men and Women of the Mean Green continue to wake up every day and do their jobs. From endless processing, cutting sign, dope interdiction; protecting and assisting their communities in crisis or disaster; hell, even taking down active shooters…
We still wear our badges proudly; maintain the steadfast dedication to the oaths we swore, and uphold our rich history, heritage and legacy we inherited 98 years ago in 1924. (With a few shenanigans along the way.)
Since 1924, the very nature of this job has always been to do more with a whole lot less. And guess what? We do.
We are not a reflection of any administration. We are a reflection of our proud legacy. We know who we are, even if others do not.
We have been, we are, and always will be Border Patrol Agents; past, present, future or retired.
And for that, we can stand tall, heads held high, and be proud. Happy Birthday Brothers and Sisters;
Honor first, Honor always.
