Note from Gary, 12-10-07

To the People of America,

I want to say thank you to all of you. Thank you for helping me get my life back on track, for helping me keep my sanity, and especially for supporting Agents Ramos and Compean in one of the worst times of their lives. But another thing I wanted to thank you all for is for helping me believe in America again. Since my conviction, I had given up on America, the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance.

However, that has changed. I wish there was a way I can thank each and every one of you that has helped me get back on my feet and restore my faith. Maybe one day I will be able to do so�but please, know that your letters and contributions have made it to me and I have been touched by every single one. I have to thank several people who made this possible, people who have changed my life. Tara Setmayer, Danny Smith, Edd Hendee, Pat Gray, Roger Hedgecock, Jimmy Valentine, Ted Poe, Nacho Ramos, Gilmer Hernandez, Nicole Van Mir, Laura Ingraham, Dale, Bryan and everyone at MATCO Tools and of course, you the people.

Today I start my route in San Antonio and we will see what the future brings. I have a long way to go, but I'm on my way thanks to all of you. It has taken me almost two years to get my head together, but through lots of prayer and blessings from the Lord, things are falling into place. I would not have gotten this far without the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you America, for helping me get my life back.

If there was any way possible for me to go back and serve you again, I would. I loved saving lives in the Coast Guard, and I loved protecting the border so much, I will never get over it. I love the Border Patrol; it's still in my heart and in my blood to be a Border Patrol Agent. I may be in the MATCO Tool business, but I will always be an Agent. My blood will always be green forever.

One more thing I ask, PLEASE�let's not forget about Ramos and Compean. They are still in solitary and away from their families for doing their jobs, protecting you and your children. God Bless us all.

Honor First, Gary M. Brugman Wrench Boxes, LLC maxxhd@gmail.com

Good for him.

Who is the agent that is being prosecuted persecuted for shooting the illegal that was going to hit him with the rock?

Good luck to Gary in his new venture!

Dear God, watch over Ramos and Compean. Keep them both safe and sound in body, mind, and spirit until they are freed from the tyranny of unjust imprisonment. Keep their wives and children in your loving care, until they are all reunited.

Amen.

Great Christmas story. God Bless Gary for sharing it. We all need to be reminded, its not where you start, its where you finish. Jesus was dying in sheer agony (See Mel Gibson’s movie for details) along side criminals, and three days later, he was seated at the right hand of the Father, with all the power and authority of Heaven at His command.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

“PLEASE let’s not forget about Ramos and Compean. They are still in solitary and away from their families for doing their jobs, protecting you and your children.”

We all thank you for your service to our country!

Maybe the next president will grant them the pardon that El Presidente Jorge Boosh won’t.

This is great to hear. Two years for a BP agent for manhandling an illegal? That is obscene. Johnny Sutton is a worm.

I want to see every one of these guys at the WhiteHouse, receiving a pardon and a check for $1000 dollars for every day they were in prison.

"Gary spent two years in the federal prison for nothing more than pushing an illegal alien down with his foot," Hendee stressed. "The illegal alien in the incident suffered no injuries," Hendee continued. "The prosecution would never have happened had the Mexican government not insisted upon it to the extent of going into Mexico to locate and find the illegal alien so he could testify against Brugman."

Yep, this has Johnny Sutton's MO written all over it.

Thanks for posting that nice note from Brugman. Here’s hoping Ramos and Compean soon see the light of day.

Maybe Gilchrist can convince Huckster to support them.....shaking head....

God bless Compean, Ramos and Brugman. Someone must be held accountable for this outrage.

Johnny “Pancho Villa” Sutton apparently has quite a track record.
