The dog rescue and recovery dog camouflages easily. But this is one of the WTC dogs.

Greetings,
Sorry for the prolonged absence as I've only had time to do a bit of "hit-and-run" posting lately :).
An update on my daughter. She is about halfway through basic now and not only doing well, but excelling! It never occurred to me but the 4 years she spent in marching band have been a real assset. Her TI's have been taking her aside and commending Holly on her performance and attitude.
She tells me that even though they only get 5 minutes to eat the food is excellent. But that didn't stop 2 of the kids from buying candy when they got some time to go to town for necessities. Bad news for the 2 candy smugglers, they were sent back to the beginning. Not smart.
As a wee bit of luck would have it, I recently finished some programming for Northwest Airlines. As part of my compensation they gave me 2 vouchers for round-trip airfare. So my son and I will be travelling to Texas in mid-October for the graduation free of charge!
So I am happy to report all is better than well.

http://dposs.com/k9/history.htm I spent two tours in Southeast Asia in '68-69 and miss my partners I left behind, EVERYDAY. One of my dogs saved five lives while giving his ultimate sacrifice. Beno was KIA in an ambush in '68 along the VietNam/Laos border.
The above link gives a history of the War Dogs in our Military Service. God bless them all. One day their handlers will cross the Rainbow Bridge and be united once again.
