The Border Patrol Foundation announces presentation of the 2014 Border Patrol Foundation National Border Security Education and Training Award to Eagle Eye Expositions, LLC, for their efforts in providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges confronting border security in the United States of America.
“Eagle Eye has been diligent in communicating the technical and social importance of strengthening border security,” says Chief Ron Colburn (USBP Ret), President of the foundation. “Their annual events, the Border Security Expo and US/Canada Border Conference, provide specialists and technology providers informing and improving opportunities to protect the interests of the United States.”
Participation in the event included Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske, U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Chief Ron Colburn (USBP Ret) presents award to Admiral Paul Zukunft, and U.S. Border Patrol Fisher. Special guests included Miguel Garibay, BPF Top Scholar for 2014, and Christy Ivie, surviving spouse of BPA Nicholas Ivie.
The presentation was made recently at the 6th Annual Border Patrol Foundation Recognition Dinner in Washington, DC. Former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff received the Founders Medal recognizing national leadership in protecting America’s borders. Rosalie Rosas, surviving spouse of BPA Robert W. Rosas, Jr., BPF Board Member and founder of the foundation’s Family Services programs, received the BPF Volunteer Award.
The annual Border Security Expo also honors the active duty and surviving families of the U.S. Border Patrol. “The USBP Surviving Family Remembrance sponsored by the foundation and Eagle Eye is a highlight and comforting opportunity for the families of those who have given their loved ones protecting America’s borders,” adds Erica Aguilar, surviving spouse of SBPA Luis Aguilar, and Coordinator of the BP Family Services program of the foundation.
The Border Patrol Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization serving the families of the U.S Border Patrol through emergency financial assistance and scholarship programs.
