Lest we not forget our War Dog Hero's Today also ~Lucca GSD~

Wow, not I feel bad, because I wasn't thinking of our 4-legged Vets out there. I have had (though I don't know if I could find it now) a book about the Dogs of War, with lots of pictures of the dogs that were used during WW-II & Korean War (oh, "conflict":?). It was very interesting, and I know that they had an even greater impact on Viet Nam and the Middle East.

I'm very glad to hear that the Military is finally getting their act together, and bring this brave dogs home....what a shame to just abandon them, when they have done so much for so many.

Thanks!

Rockhillmanor,

Thank you for posting a remembrance for our "forgotten hero's".
They truly deserve more acknowledgement then they get for their role in our military history.

The traveling memorial to be placed at Lackland AFB, San Antonio, TX is the latest tribute to these hero's but certainly not the only one.

Please take a look at these web sites if interested.

Thanx for the post!

We believe dawgs in service are the epitome of the valiant.
Always amazed by the many stories I've read about working dog heroes.
