TUCSON, Ariz. – Chaplain Joshua Ingertson has been protecting his country for nearly half his life – first as a soldier, then as a Border Patrol agent and now also as a chaplain.
He has a profound sense of duty to his country and an equally abiding faith. And working as a patrol agent along the Mexican border on Memorial Day gave him an opportunity to dwell on those countless American soldiers who have paid with their lives to maintain the nation’s freedoms.
Ingertson said he told his supervisor chaplain last week that he probably would not be thinking of anyone specifically on Monday, but would reflect on “those who we lost out there, whose memorials we put together, soldiers who gave it all, who put it all out there for all of us.”
