Our goal is to
have a geocache placed in each state that reminds us of those
heroes who have died in the line of duty serving the public.
This is not a political agenda just a way to let others know
about the good men and women that have laid down their lives
protecting and serving all of us. This project includes Law
Enforcement officers, Fire Fighters, EMS and Military
personnel. I would also like to place patches of any kind in
the geocache containers and allow visitors to either sign the
log or exchange a patch for one in the container. If you
decide you want to place a geocache of this sort in your
state please email me so I can count the states. Also if you
choose to place a story about the location please do
so!
Many thanks to Otterbox for donating the containers for the
initial launch of this project!
This cache is dedicated to Border Patrol Agent
