this story of PfC Hammer is so touching...my husband is serving over there, and he has told me stories of the soldiers who are befriended by a war time pet...well PfC Hammer has a real home, and thsi is one of the many heartwarming stories from Iraq.
I missed this story when it was posted in April. I'm glad you bumped it and I got to read it. Great heartwarming story!
Sorry I didn't respond to you post earlier. I have a broken foot and not able to get to the computer as much. I think this story represents something even bigger-we true Americans have big hearts. We have reached out to those who are in need around the world. We may not get the recognition that we deserve but every once in a while a story like this shows the best in us. It's a shame that Pfc Hammer can't over shadow the stupid Abu-Ghraib story in the media. Also, I wish to thank you and your husband for serving our great country. Thank him for his service in Iraq and thank you for being here for him.
