I personally think that is a great idea, this story is so heartwretching and I think we need to give recognition and thanks to the marine who lost his life for us and the dog that was his devoted partner, protector and fellow soldier. I would love to see the marine and dog honored at the National, I bet there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house. -----Original Message----- From: Luanne Crinklaw <silvermoongsds@xxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 10:02 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Review Just had to say I Loved this issue, especially the article on the GSD adopted by the family of his killed in action Marine handler. It was very touching and I especially loved the article from the dog's point of view. My question is that since Carmen was at the ceremony, did anyone think to invite the family and the dog to the National? I think it would be a nice thing to honor their son's memory and the devotion he had to this dog in a special ceremony. How about it board & membership lets honor this Marine, his family and all others who serve both human and K-9.
