He was killed while attached to our BN during a multi-day combat operation and will be missed.  His is survived by his wife and daughter, as well as his dog Sicario, who survived the attack that took his handler&#8217;s life. Now we wait the assessment from Lackland AFB to see what will become of the dog.  Over a dozen soldiers have already expressed interest in adopting the fallen sailor&#8217;s furry partner.  After spending most of the morning doing research for the guys who want to try and give this dog a happy and healthy retirement I realized just how large and extensive the MWD adoption program has become.  These dogs risk their lives along with the soldiers they protect every day, and they deserve the same amount of respect and dignity we would accord any serviceman who has served honorably.  I&#8217;d like to take this forum to provide a shameless plug for the military working dog!<br \/>\n  adoption program.  If you&#8217;re considering bringing a dog into your life, and you think you can handle the unique challenges and responsibilities of caring for one of our furry veterans then I&#8217;d encourage you to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lackland.af.mil\/units\/341stmwd\/index.asp\">look into this program<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army J sends us this; A few days ago we lost another brother in arms: Petty &hellip; <a title=\"Adopting Military Dogs\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30197\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Adopting Military Dogs<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-support-the-troops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30197\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
