CBP Honors Fallen Officers at the 2010 Blue Mass

(05/05/2010) Units of law enforcement personnel - dressed in blue, brown, tan and green - lined the streets of Washington, D.C. yesterday to honor their own. All saluted as 14 honor guards representing federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies passed in formation under a giant American flag as pipe and drum players kept time.

Just days from graduating at the top of his recruit class last May, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Nathaniel Afolayan collapsed during a training exercise in the New Mexico heat, and later died.

Because the 29-year-old resident of San Jacinto in Riverside County was to be stationed in Murrieta, his name was added Monday to the memorial honoring fallen Riverside County peace officers. In an emotional ceremony, his commander told a large crowd of the mark he left behind.
