Support for Retired CBPO Peter Remsen and Wife After House Fire

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are reaching out to ask for your support for recently retired CBP Officer Peter Remsen and his wife, Kerry Smalling, who experienced a devastating tragedy this week.

On the evening of October 9th, their home in Huntington, NY caught fire while Kerry and their beloved dogs were inside. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely — but their home and nearly all of their belongings were completely destroyed.

Peter served our nation and the CBP community with dedication and integrity for many years, and now he and Kerry need our help to rebuild after this unimaginable loss.

We are organizing donations that will directly help them with immediate essentials — clothing, temporary housing, food, and the long road of recovery ahead. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference and remind them that they are not alone.

If you would like to help, please consider donating.

Let’s come together as a CBP family to show Peter and Kerry that their service and friendship have not been forgotten.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
