If the monument serves to change this practice I’m all for it. ............. Let the dog stay with someone it was close to in the unit. At least bring the dog home instead of letting it fend for itself to survive when it was fed and watered by a caring human at one time. I agree with Lynne:

He found the german shepherd and it was his dog for the rest of his time there. He did everthing in his power and offered all kinds of money but he was not allowed to bring that baby back. That is not right and in my mind will never be right. A dog saved my brother’s life in nam. He found the german shepherd and it was his dog for the rest of his time there.

Not sure. But seems incredible -- all the training and expense to get them there, then they serve honorably and bravely, then they are left behind? Glad now that war dogs will get some recognition.

Is this true? If so, seems there is something terribly wrong somewhere.
