Please take a moment on this Memorial Day to honor all those dogs, horses and other animals who have passed on in combat while saving lives and all those who were casualties of war.

“America’s war dogs prevented over 10,000 casualties in Vietnam alone and bravely served our country in Operation Desert Storm as well as World War II. Yet, many of these K-9 Soldiers were declared “surplus armaments” and were unceremoniously euthanized or left to unknown fates in Vietnam.

America’s war dogs were trained to recognize booby traps, mines tunnels and weapons caches. They were trained for parachute landings. They warned troops about ambushes. They saved lives by dragging wounded soldiers to safety. These canine heroes lived, bonded and fought side-by-side with our veterans.”

Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend from Four Paws Acupuncture.
