With charitable efforts dominating the minds of many this holiday season, the time is ripe for people to familiarize themselves with the Fallen Agents Fund.
A year after Special Agents Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger were killed in the line of duty, the FBI’s Miami Field Office is still grieving, but moving forward—determined to forever honor their fallen colleagues’ memories and live up to the high standards they set.

Good afternoon. On behalf of the entire FBI, it’s an honor to be here today to remember Special Agent Laura Schwartzenberger.
There are no good words to make sense of a loss like this. No good words for a day like Tuesday, or like today. There is a heaviness in our hearts a burden unlike any other because there is nothing more devastating to the FBI Family than the loss of an agent in the line of duty.
It is the news we pray will never come and when it does, every FBI employee feels it deep down in their souls, whether they had the privilege of knowing Laura or not. Because we all know the risks our agents take, every day, to uphold an oath taken long ago, knowing that life can change forever in a mere moment.

Good afternoon. On behalf of the entire FBI, it’s an honor to be here today to remember Special Agent Dan Alfin.
Dan’s legacy is one of passion, dedication, and principle. It’s what you imagine when you think of a proud FBI agent who will do anything to catch the bad guy, and a devoted father who would do anything for his family.
Like yesterday, when we paid tribute to Special Agent Laura Schwartzenberger whose family also joins us in honoring Dan today there are no good words to make sense of a loss like this. For a day like today.
