Dog handler Charles Dahlberg and Ziko were at the state Capitol on Wednesday with current and former handlers of military and police dogs to show support for a national war-dog memorial. The legislature passed a resolution supporting the memorial, which would be built in Washington, D.C. The project is being promoted by a Vietnam veteran and Colorado native.

A Vietnam War veteran and Denver-area native is on a mission to create a national monument in Washington, D.C., to the dogs that soldiers used in combat.John Burnam, who served two tours of duty as a war-dog handler in Vietnam during the 1960s, presented his case Wednesday to the Colorado legislature, which passed a resolution supporting his efforts.
More than 4,000 dogs, mostly shepherds, were used in Vietnam for scouting, finding hidden explosives and tracking. Most died in Vietnam, with only about 250 returned to the United States. About 2,300 U.S. military dogs are currently in service throughout the world, including Iraq.

Anybody know who ordered that the dogs returning from Viet Nam at the end of the U.S. involvement be destroyed rather than quarantined? I heard that some of their handlers took it very hard.

There is a terrific war dog memorial on Guam. The USMC used mainly Dobermans in the Pacific theater.
This was a block or so from where we lived on Guam.
