Last night I watched your documentary, and was left deeply touched-moved to tears. My sincere respect goes out to all you men and women, who had been and are still choosing the encompasing hardship and ultimate sacrefice of leaving home, fighting battles, enduring inmessurable pain,sorrow and suffering. Your storries of Nubbs, Moody, Patton and all the many faithful others is a testament that you have soul and heart, and are good people, no matter the horrors you have seen, endured or done. You are a testament to all us people, that we can act human even under the worst circuumstances. We are human, there is bad in all of us, but there is also a lot of goodness. And that is what its worth fighting for. Coming from East Germany, the only after effects of war I experienced, came from both my grandfathers, one making it out of Stalingrad, the other out of France. I wished, both had a 4legged companion during that traumatic time. We might have had a better childhood. They came home from war as changed men forever, negatively effecting not only their children, but us grandchildren. This is why it sadens and angers me, that the military fails to recognize the meaningful work these animals carrie for their brave soldiers and with that the effects the homcoming soldier will have on its community. What a shame to take away that little piece of sanity during insane times.
Thanks to you all, for your brave rescuemissions, for your courage fighting, and for doing the right thing. Don’t give up.
This is to you, who fight, and to you who rescue, and to the dogs that save.
I am deeply touched, let me know how I can help!
More need to come home!
