Last week introduced House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) introduced the Brian A. Terry Memorial Act of 2011 to rename the Bisbee, Arizona Border Patrol station in honor of the Michigan native.
The Bisbee station is located in the district of Gabrielle Giffords. "In the past half-century, 70 U.S. Border Patrol agents – including Agent Terry – have been killed while protecting our nation," said Pia Carusone, chief of staff for Rep. Giffords (D-AZ), whose office worked with Issa on the legislation. "Congresswoman Giffords has led the fight for increased border security so Agent Terry and others will not have died in vain."
Last week the Oversight Committee released a video honoring Terry.
