HOUSTON (AP) — Funer
al services for Houston police
officer Alberto Vasquez, who
was shot by a 19-year-old he was
in the process of arresting on
drug charges, were cut short
Saturday when a tree fell less
than 2 feet from the tent his
family,was sitting under.
“Ladies and gentleman, we
ask that you leave. You are
putting yourselves at risk by stay
ing,” an officer said after light
ning hit the tree and sent those
nearby scrambling for safety.
But family members huddled
even closer as rain continued to
pummel the blue tent. Officers
attending the funeral used their
night sticks to relieve some of
the water’s weight and keep it
from collapsing on Vasquez’s
flag-covered casket. A priest
quickly blessed the casket, hug
ging Vasquez’s widow, Patricia,
who cried as she tightly grasped
a picture of her slain husband.
Vasquez, a Houston police
officer for seven years, and offi
cer Enrique Duharte-Tur, were
both shot while working securi
ty at a Houston apartment com
plex Tuesday night.
Police spokesman Robert
Hurst said Alex Adams opened
fire as the officers attempted to
arrest him and four others on
drug charges at fche Natchez
House Apartment Homes in
southwest Houston.
Adams has been charged with
Vasquez’s death and attempted
capital murder for wounding
«

Authorities say Vasquez and
Duharte-Tur were leading three
of the drug suspects to the apart
ment complex’s leasing office
while two other officers fol
lowed behind with Adams and
another person when Adams
pulled out a handgun and fired.
On Saturday, Duharte-Tur
remained in serious conditional
Ben Taub General Hospital.
Vasquez became the second
law enforcement officer in Harris
County to be killed in less than 16
hours Tuesday. Sheriffs deputy
Joseph N. Dennis was gunned
down as he tried to arrest Jesus
Flores near his parent’s northwest
Harris County home for damage
done to his sister’s car.
Flores was arrested after a
nine-hour manhunt and
charged with capital murder.
Funeral services for Denni:
took place on Friday with those
in attendance remembering hiir.
as an unassuming man andi
role model.
“Take a piece of my brother

brother.
During Vasquez’s funeral,k
mother, Ira Becker, asked tk

WASHINGTON (AP) — In
times of conscience, the still
fields between the Washington
Monument and Abe Lincoln’s
mighty chair have served as the
nation’s spiritual town square.
Change is coming to that his
toric sweep of the National
Mall. It will be altered by the
dream of thousands of World
War II veterans. Soon, there will
be a memorial to their effort at
the heart of it.
A decade-long struggle was
ended decisively by Congress last
week with a vote to place the
memorial plans outside the nor
mal regulatory process, effective
ly overriding all resistance.
Veterans are dying, about
1,100 each day, President
George W. Bush has noted. “It
is time to give them the memo
rial they deserve.”
Opponents argued that the
mall should remain open and
untouched, so that future gener
ations can protest the govern
ment in the tradition of Martin
Luther King. Some also de
scribed the memorial design as
gaudy, or authoritarian.
T he controversy, which has
put some veterans on opposing
sides, may endure as part of the
memorial’s legacy.
“It is time to put all of this in
the past and do right by our hon
ored dead and the veterans that
are still with us,” said Michael
Conley, speaking for memorial
planners. “It is almost unforgiv
able that we have no place in
Washington that honors those
who fought in a war that gave us
our modern identity as a na
tion.”
Back across the bow:
“We could have memorial
ized World War II in a place
that would not have defaced the
National Mall, which is a his
toric symbol of our nation’s
democracy,” said 79-year-old
World War II veteran George
Peabody, who allied with the
Coalition to Save Our Mall. “I
will never feel good about this.”
Peabody and other veterans
who condemn the memorial
