Dear, Yardians.
I ask for a moment of silence in remembrance of a dog who served his country without complaint, without asking for anything in return while doing so with devout patriotism.
My War Dog was confiscated by airport security recently. I had it stashed in the hidden/back pouch of my Maxpedition Condor II during a recent military exercise. I absentmindedly forgot to check that pouch since I flew in military air and had to leave on commercial air. Getting a flak jacket and kevlar helmet through security is another story. Thailand classifies those as weapons.
They offered to let me put the War Dog in my checked baggage instead of taking it, but the 4+ hours I had to stay there dealing with the flak and helmet put me 10 minutes away from take off and I didn't have time. Normally, I would have missed the flight and caught the next one. But ... my family needed me and the War Dog doesn't beat family.
He is gone. He paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to his nation. He was an American made blade whose service to our nation reflected great credit upon Scrapyard Knife Company and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and United States Naval Service.
Semper fi, War Dog.

Ahhh man. Sorry to hear about your loss. I will have a drink tonight to honor his service.
May you find an ample replacement (SOB) in short order.

The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust.

Even as a lowly Chairman, I salute this valiant warrior and the sacrifice he made. A fallen warrior, remembered forever for his unfailing service to his country and his "Comrade in arms".
