Here's to the REAL 'dog-faced soldiers!' The mighty military working dog! Have you been around one? Have you been a handler? What is your best military working dog story or memory? I think there ought to be a museum somewhere dedicated to all the different animals the US military has used over the decades, including dogs, horses, carrier pigeons and others. Share your thoughts....

last year I watched the Bastille Day Parade (local public tv has France 24 news on) midnite to 6 am.
there was a military dog unit in the parade, all of the dogs had yellow scarves with their medals pinned to them.
America, we are doing it wrong.

My favorite military war animal of all times is SGT Reckless. Promoted twice, received two purple hearts, and a 19 gun salute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIo3ZfA9da0
