On Memorial Day, it's our duty to honor all of those who have died serving our country and to recognize that these brave men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live our lives safely and securely.
Let's also take note of the unsung animal heroes who have given their lives in service to our nation and our troops abroad.
Military working dogs - like the Doberman pinscher, German shepherd, Labrador retriever and Belgian Malinois - have served our country gallantly in many theaters, from World War II to their role in the war against terror in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. A military working dog was even a member of the elite team that stormed Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
