Edgar Millan Gomez - Mexican Hero

I want to remember that name.  He was assasinated today for serving his country.  He is a hero in my book. 

A Mexican patriot who died serving the country he loves by trying to save it from drug dealers.   To me our biggest mistake in thins is trying to fight a war with police agencies.  With an Army your higher ranking soldiers are harder to get to and the mission has a much better chance of getting accomplished.

But at any rate Edgar Millan Gomez worked on peace missions with the United Nations and served 19 years starting as an investigative agent and working his way up to the number 3 spot in the chain of command as the acting commander of  the Federal Police of Mexico. 

You know... I don't know if the man was a good man, a just man, but I think that when he was a boy with his eye's on becoming a police man in his country and serving his country that he had the right reasons in his heart for wanting to. 

For some reason his picture reminded me of a soldier I met while working as a clerk for the National Guard taking part in a California wide personnel records review.  A very mild mannered Mexican American Sergeant First Class sat in front of me and as I read his awards they stopped just short of a congressional medal of honor.  We need more pictures of people like these in the news and in these blogs.

Everything he fought against is everything that's entering the United States, thanks to George Bush and all of the other open borders zealots.

So many lives are being lost at the hands of corrupt drug dealers... It's really very sad. Thanks for this tribute.

TAYL and Leelila thankyou for commenting. I really hope that as these murders and threat have continued that the US and Mexican militaries would combine efforts to overcome these terrorist drug dealers. I really don't think sending money is an option and soveriegnty should not be an issue when we have high ranking police officials requesting asylum

I'm a retired vet who loves to come up with donut shop solutions through soup kitchen prophecies. My goal is to encourage the growth of alternative sentencing through "habilitation" programs. These quiet unsung organizations need our quiet unsung support. (Edit May 24, 2008, Of course since then I've been getting into more interesting material.) _________________________
