To the White House, Brian Terry Is Merely the Collateral Damage of a Failed Policy

To Us, He Was Family

United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry - our son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend - sacrificed his life to protect our country. But that apparently wasn't enough for the White House to remember his name.

In a statement to the press yesterday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney stumbled and fumbled his way through a defense of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to furnish documents related to Operation Fast and Furious, the ill-conceived gun-trafficking exercise orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the United States Department of Justice.

Then, Carney failed to remember the name of Brian Terry, the American hero who became a victim of the operation.

In response to a question posed by ABC's Jake Tapper at yesterday's press conference, Carney said, "We have provided Congress every document that pertains to the operation itself that is at issue here when you talk about the family that you referred to."

Tapper, who explicitly mentioned our family's name in his question, had to remind Carney - "the Terry family" - he interjected in the middle of Carney's response.

"The Terry family," Carney repeated, apparently having not paid enough attention to the Fast and Furious scandal and the resulting tragedy to remember our names.

Jay Carney, since you forgot about Brian Terry, let me remind you of who he was.
Brian Terry is a modern-day American hero who loved life and lived it to the fullest each and every day. Brian Terry was a well-trained and well-equipped U.S. Border Patrol Agent who knew his job was full of risk and danger, but performed his duty admirably in the face of that risk and danger. Brian Terry was part of the "tip of the spear" that protected our country's border. Brian Terry was confronted by Mexican drug cartel bandits armed with semiautomatic weapons supplied to them via Fast and Furious, a failed "gun-walking" operation orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the United States Department of Justice. Brian Terry died a tragic, needless death at the hands of the drug smuggle.

Help us remember Brian Terry - as well as the U.S. Border Patrol Agents who came before him and those who will come after him - by contributing to our cause so that we may carry out our mission.
The White House may have forgotten Brian Terry's name, but with your help, we'll create a living legacy that everyone else will remember.
In the loving and enduring memory of Brian A. Terry,

The Brian Terry Foundation

P.S. Brian Terry lost his life protecting this nation, and it is very disappointing that we are now faced with an administration that seems more concerned with protecting themselves rather than revealing the truth behind Operation Fast and Furious. Please,join the Brian Terry Foundation and sign our "Never Again Petition," calling for our nation's leadership tonever again repeat the mistakes that were made by the Justice Department in the conception and investigation of Fast and Furious.

This was received in my email sent to me by the Terry family... Please contribute to the cause
