History - Roll Call
![U.S. Marshal Robert Forsyth](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20120913075040im_/http://www.usmarshals.gov/images/forsyth.jpg) On January 11, 1794, Robert Forsyth, U.S. Marshal for the District of Georgia, was shot and killed while attempting to serve civil papers. He was the first law enforcement officer in the United States of America to be killed in the line of duty.
Since then, over 200 federal Marshals, Deputy Marshals, Special Deputy Marshals and Marshals guards have given their lives in service to their nation. We honor their memory and their sacrifice.
