Marine and Navy Handlers

Sebastian's+dog+cropped+compressedEnjoy a few photos sent by Marine and Navy handlers deployed in Iraq: photos of mission ready dog and handler, training and just chillin’.

I was reminded recently that your family is limited and you get what you get. You pick one spouse. But your friends can be as infinite and diverse as you choose. Best friend, new friend, old friend, trusted friend, true blue friend. There are not enough special words to adequately describe friendship, especially friends as special as these young military men and women. They are a pretty unique and amazing group. Sebastian, we send our prayers that you, your buddies and your dogs –stay stafe. Semper fi.
