Our Silent Heroes

This Memorial Day, while we barbecue, spend time with family, and enjoy the beach, don't forget to honor the military men, women, and military dogs who have given their life to defend our country.

War dogs have silently fought for us for decades many not returning from the field. I'd like to honor those who have fallen, as many do not realize how much their hard work and dedication has influenced our military. In 2000, Clinton passed a law to allow these dogs to be adopted. Since then military dog adoptions have gradually risen. These dogs may have behavior problems(ie. post traumatic stress disorder) or missing limbs, but in no way are less worthy of a happy retirement.

To learn more about these incredible heroes and their stories or to learn about how to adopt and/or support retired war dogs, visit USWarDogs.org or Military Working Dog Adoptions.
