Today many are remembering the lives of men and women who have given their lives to serve our country. We often think of those only in uniform, and forget all those that have served and given their lives without a uniform. One of these was none other then a yellow lab named Sirius. He was a bomb detection dog that worked in the World Trade Center tower two with his partner Officer David Lim. He and Officer Lim were in the tower when it fell on September 11, 2001. Officer Lim was found, but his dog had been killed. Many say, "but he was just one dog compared to the 2,976 people that lost their lives that same day." Yes he was just a dog, but he was willing to put his life on the line every day for his friend (Officer Lim) and our country. Even though he may not of realized it he gave his life for our country, and we should be grateful.
On that same day 300 dogs came to the sight to find those that might still be alive buried under all that rubbish. They gave comfort to thousands.
We should be grateful today to those who are still alive serving our country in many ways. Yes and to the thousands of dogs across the country who work along side us saving many lives. Giving many another chance to choose to serve our Heavenly Father.
