    U.S. Border Patrol ranch liaison John "Cody" Jackson (R) and cattle rancher Dan Bell ride through Bell's ZZ Cattle Ranch at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, March 8, 2013 in Nogales, Arizona. Agent Jackson meets regularly with local ranchers to coordinate the agency's efforts on border issues, including drug smuggling and illegal immigration from Mexico. Bell, a third generation rancher, grazes cattle on nearly ten miles of border property. Nogales, Mexico is seen on the far side of the border fence.

    Border Patrol agents salute during a memorial service for slain comrade Brian Terry on Jan. 21, 2011 in Tucson, Arizona. Agent Terry was killed during a Dec. 14 shootout with suspected bandits near the U.S.-Mexico Border. Thousands of Border Patrol agents and fellow law enforcement officers from across Arizona turned out for the memorial service held at Kino baseball stadium in Tucson. With U.S. agents tracking drug smugglers and illegal immigrants all along the border, the region is one of the most militarized areas of the United States.

    It was smart of John Moore to photograph the Border Patrol agents behind a fence.

    Reuters reports:
    TUCSON, ARIZONA -- Agent Brian A. Terry, 40, who was shot dead in a firefight with a suspected "rip crew" -- bandits who rob illegal immigrants and drug smugglers -- in mountainous canyon lands a few miles northwest of the border city of Nogales on December 14. Four men were arrested following Terry's death, although none have been charged with his murder.

    "He went out every day knowing that what he was doing was benefiting not him, but others," Kurt R. Martin, a friend of the fallen agent told a crowd of around 3,000 people gathered in the outdoor Kino Stadium in Tucson.

    Among those attending the memorial service were Senator Jon Kyl, an Arizona Republican, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan D. Bersin.
