Remember All Our Fallen Heroes... Human and Canine

This image has been going around Facebook this past week, and I can't think of a better way to recognize Memorial Day on the Cute.

Today, let's remember not just the people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, but the canine service members as well. I'm sure there is a VERY special place at the Rainbow Bridge for them.

P.S. I don't know the origin of this image, so if anyone does, please let me know so I can give proper credit. Have a fun and safe holiday, everyone!

  8. It's the War Dog Memorial on Guam. Here's info: "On 21 July 1994, a War Dog Memorial was dedicated at the US Marine Corps War Dog Cemetery on Guam, to honor the dogs that served in the Pacific Theater during World War II. In the battle for Guam (21 July to 10 August 1944) a Doberman named Kurt saved the lives of 250 Marines when he warned them of Japanese troops ahead. Kurt is honored by a life-sized bronze and granite at the War Dog Memorial on Guam. Carved into the stone are names of twenty-five other Dobermans who gave their lives liberating the island and who are buried nearby. An exact replica of this memorial is located at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine."
