In Memoriam

Across the Department of Homeland Security, we salute those who have sworn to protect and serve our communities. We remember those who gave their lives to protect ours. Today and every day, we honor their memory, and carry forward their legacy.

“It is our commitment and our obligation to not forget those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Their ultimate sacrifice has made it possible for us to enjoy the freedoms and the life that define this greatest country of ours. We recognize their families as well. The risks the fallen undertook, and the sacrifices they made, were undertaken and made by their loved ones too. Please join me in honoring the lives and loved ones of the fallen.”

– Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas
