I knew this was going to make me cry. It did. I hope this dog gives some comfort to the parents and they to him. God Bless our soldiers and their families.

Dogs are so loyal and intuitive. It’s hard to refer to them as ‘pets’, when they are family. They are our four legged children.
Will say a prayer for our soldier’s family, he was so young, it’s so very sad.

Smiles.
Thank you for the correction, and for the much needed small smile on this thread. I should know better, growing up career Navy and all.
May God, my Dad and that fine young Marine all share a laugh at my expense today.

Something is wrong with my monitor; every time I read this story, it becomes uncharacteristically blurry.
