It is for us. the living. rather. to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." The words of Abraham Lincoln hold as much meaning today as they did when he spoke to them in Gettysburg in 1863. Today we remember two men who gave their lives for our protection. Border Patrol agents Theodore L. Newton. Jr.. and George F. Azrak. are 2 of the 104 Customs and Border Patrol agents who have been killed in the line of duty. Madam Speaker. today we will have the opportunity to honor the lives of two brave public servants when we vote to designate the United States Border Patrol Station in Murrieta. CA. as the "Theodore L. Newton. Jr. and George F. Azrak Border Patrol Station." Border Patrol agents Newton and Azrak selflessly gave their lives in the line of duty. During their patrol on the morning of June 17. 1967. Agents Newton and Azrak stopped an old military ambulance at a checkpoint. and inside the vehicle. they found 800 pounds of marijuana.
