In the line of duty ...

Shipmates,

We mourn with our DEA partners the loss of their three agents in Afghanistan along with those military members who perished. I spoke to DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart yesterday and passed on our condolences at the loss of Special Agents Chad Michael, Forrest Leamon, and Michael Weston. It is also very sad that the loss occurs during Red Ribbon Week which commemorates the loss of DEA Special Agent Kiki Camarena who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by a drug cartel in 1985. Red Ribbon Week is an annual drug prevention campaign that honors Agent Camarena's memory.

Please keep our fallen military comrades and law enforcement partners and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

ADM A
