Comments: I was in Air Force Security, stationed at DaNang 1966-67. We had K-9 security with us a lot. I have a lot of respect for those dogs. They sure make you feel safe just with their presence. We were in a morter/rocket attack (estimated 132 rockets in on us in 30 seconds), in the "bomb-dump" area, which was right along side the runways. "Charlie", was trying to hit the runways, (I don't think he knew about the bomb-dump area at the time), I was in a corner bunker (approx. 500 feet from the napaum storage), when all hell broke loose. There was also a 3 man security patrol in a jeep stopped at my post when things started happening. All of a sudden, in a two man bunker, I had the patrol (3 men), 2 K-9 handlers (with K-9's), and me! By the way, the K-9's alerted us and beat all of us into the bunker. We took a look at the dogs during the attack and I remember one of them so well, laying there with his front feet crossed over the top of his head as if to protect it. I will never forget that. The next morning clean-up, found three (3) "dud" rockets, stuck in the ground about 10 feet of the napaum. After that, I thanked God and the K-9's.

Comments: I just found the site and was impressed on it's substance and structure. Well done!! I saw the show the other night and it brought back some heartfelt memories of the days of the future past. I was in the USAF and was a sentry dog handler in SEA. Most of the time was Thailand I didn't see as much combat as most but all in all combat is combat no matter how long. I had a real tough dog named Rowdy and being with him for a long time we gave each other one present that kept us going. We adopted each other to care for each other and we trusted as well as depended on each other. Rowdy protected me every night as well as countless other GIs. As you all know we all had to return one way or another. When that day came I found rowdy and myself alone in the night on our post patroling at the ready. We had some exchanges that night nothing out of the usual but Rowdy was somewhat distanced from me . It was almost like he knew what was to happen. When we got back at the kennel we shared what was to be our last PBR and did he like it. I went to the back of the kennel and started to dig his final resting place. When it was completed I walked him into the vet office. Rowdy looked up at me as I placed him on the table He did not mAke a move nor did he put up a fight as I told him the story of the fields of ambrosia. Before I finished it was all over. My best friend was gone I felt like I betrayed him and never gave him his best. So Rowdy if you are watching over me as all teams never split I would like to say I'm sorry for what BIG Brother did and made us do to so many. Thank you for protecting me keeping me safe and seeing that I made it home. As I sat and watched the show misty eyed as I was and getting the time to write this has started to ease my pain. In closing I salute you for a job well done and the others of your breed.I thank god for all who made it home and I ask the lord to take the ones that did not into his home as the WAR DOGS stand ready for the next assignment. Welcome home and may God Bless=The Fish

Comments: Bought some dog food last night and got a copy of the "War Dogs" video. Tore me up again. Those brave dogs should have been rotated out with their handlers. My hat is off, and my heart is out, to you former handlers out there. Those gallant dogs had an undying love, devotion, and commitment to duty. Things that the politicians don't have a clue about. The video is a shining example of the U.S. government's atrocity policy towards it's warriors. Be they human or animal, all are expendable to them. I can only urge everyone to support this memorial, it won't bring any back, but they won't be forgotten and if enough people get irate enough, it may keep it from happening again. Watching the video, I saw my own late sheperd's (Moose) face in the faces of alot of those dogs. What a great and grand bro he was. I miss him. To all you "Nammers" out there, WELCOME HOME. Hope you're getting by alright. SEMPER FI Andy Chu-Lai 65-66

Comments: I was a scout dog handler in nam 69-70 41st.&43IPSD. Probably the hardest thing I ever did in my life was leaving my dog there.I got my dog from another handler who was rotating home and I know it was all he could do to leave that dog behind just like me,but I in turn turned Puddles over to another handler hopeing that if I couldn't have him maybe he could do that little magic he did so well and send another GI home safe and sound.Pud was a great friend and he sure saved my butt several times, hardly a day goes by I don't think of him,miss him and wish he was sitting here by my side.

Comments: As with most other people signing your guest book I too saw the movie on the Discovery Channel last nite.It broke my heart to see the end of the film when someone dicided that the dogs were expendable equipment. I would like the person who made that dicision face and explain this dicision to the person who wrote the letter to the german shepard. That dog was a pet. The excuse given I believe was that they might carry something home with them. Some excuse, with pets traveling all over the world every day. I wonder if this same practice is happening in Bosnia oar Saudi Arabia or elseware in the world. They fought with the soldiers and should have been given a heros welcome home, not the fate they received.

Thankfully, he came home alive, but I am looking for some information about this unit. He served from December 1968 to December 1969. He was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal. I am very proud of him, but he is unwilling to share his experiences in any detail about his year in Nam. I would appreciate any possible information about his unit. His name and rank is Hospital Corpsman Second Class Richard A. Bailey. Thanks. Todd Bailey
