Wasted Honor -- - Say What you Need To Say......: Brian Terry Foundation

Wasted Honor -

Carl R. ToersBijns is the author of the Wasted Honor Trilogy [Wasted Honor I,II and Gorilla Justice] and his newest book From the Womb to the Tomb, the Tony Lester Story, which is a reflection of his life and his experiences as a correctional officer and a correctional administrator retiring with the rank of deputy warden in the New Mexico and Arizona correctional systems.

Carl also wrote a book on his combat experience in the Kindle book titled - Combat Medic - Men with destiny - A red cross of Valor -

Carl is considered by many a rogue expert in the field of prison security systems since leaving the profession. Carl has been involved in the design of many pilot programs related to mental health treatment, security threat groups, suicide prevention, and maximum custody operational plans including double bunking max inmates and enhancing security for staff. He invites you to read his books so you can understand and grasp the cultural and political implications and influences of these prisons. He deals with the emotions, the stress and anxiety as well as the realities faced working inside a prison. He deals with the occupational risks while elaborating on the psychological impact of both prison worker and prisoner.

His most recent book, Gorilla Justice, is an un-edited raw fictional version of realistic prison experiences and events through the eyes of an anecdotal translation of the inmate’s plight and suffering while enduring the harsh and toxic prison environment including solitary confinement.

Carl has been interviewed by numerous news stations and newspapers in Phoenix regarding the escape from the Kingman prison and other high profile media cases related to wrongful deaths and suicides inside prisons. His insights have been solicited by the ACLU, Amnesty International, and various other legal firms representing solitary confinement cases in California and Arizona. He is currently working on the STG Step Down program at Pelican Bay and has offered his own experience insights with the Center of Constitutional Rights lawyers and interns to establish a core program at the SHU units. He has personally corresponded and written with SHU prisoners to assess the living conditions and how it impacts their long term placement inside these type of units that are similar to those in Arizona Florence Eyman special management unit where Carl was a unit deputy warden for almost two years before his promotion to Deputy Warden of Operations in Safford and Eyman.

He is a strong advocate for the mentally ill and is a board member of David's Hope Inc. a non-profit advocacy group in Phoenix and also serves as a senior advisor for Law Enforcement Officers Advocates Council in Chino, California As a subject matter expert and corrections consultant, Carl has provided interviews and spoken on national and international radio talk shows e.g. BBC CBC Lou Show & TV shows as well as the Associated Press.

Brian Terry Foundation - Please contribute to an American Hero

To the White House, Brian Terry Is Merely the Collateral Damage of a Failed Policy

To Us, He Was Family

United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry - our son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend - sacrificed his life to protect our country. But that apparently wasn't enough for the White House to remember his name.

In a statement to the press yesterday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney stumbled and fumbled his way through a defense of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to furnish documents related to Operation Fast and Furious, the ill-conceived gun-trafficking exercise orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the United States Department of Justice.

Then, Carney failed to remember the name of Brian Terry, the American hero who became a victim of the operation.

In response to a question posed by ABC's Jake Tapper at yesterday's press conference, Carney said, "We have provided Congress every document that pertains to the operation itself that is at issue here when you talk about the family that you referred to."

Tapper, who explicitly mentioned our family's name in his question, had to remind Carney - "the Terry family" - he interjected in the middle of Carney's response.

"The Terry family," Carney repeated, apparently having not paid enough attention to the Fast and Furious scandal and the resulting tragedy to remember our names.

Jay Carney, since you forgot about Brian Terry, let me remind you of who he was.
Brian Terry is a modern-day American hero who loved life and lived it to the fullest each and every day. Brian Terry was a well-trained and well-equipped U.S. Border Patrol Agent who knew his job was full of risk and danger, but performed his duty admirably in the face of that risk and danger. Brian Terry was part of the "tip of the spear" that protected our country's border. Brian Terry was confronted by Mexican drug cartel bandits armed with semiautomatic weapons supplied to them via Fast and Furious, a failed "gun-walking" operation orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the United States Department of Justice. Brian Terry died a tragic, needless death at the hands of the drug smuggle.

Help us remember Brian Terry - as well as the U.S. Border Patrol Agents who came before him and those who will come after him - by contributing to our cause so that we may carry out our mission.
The White House may have forgotten Brian Terry's name, but with your help, we'll create a living legacy that everyone else will remember.
In the loving and enduring memory of Brian A. Terry,

The Brian Terry Foundation

P.S. Brian Terry lost his life protecting this nation, and it is very disappointing that we are now faced with an administration that seems more concerned with protecting themselves rather than revealing the truth behind Operation Fast and Furious. Please,join the Brian Terry Foundation and sign our "Never Again Petition," calling for our nation's leadership tonever again repeat the mistakes that were made by the Justice Department in the conception and investigation of Fast and Furious.
