Maggie K9 Police Dog retires

I came across this beautiful girl on Myspace, and I just had to pay tribute to her!  Maggie is now retired from the Oak Ridge Police Department in Tennessee.  She was injured by a crack dealer when he rammed his car into Maggie and her handler.  She is seven years old and she's a dual purpose Police K9 with over 80 grand in dope and money seizures, and six street bites!  

You can find me on Myspace at:  http://www.myspace.com/sempercanum

Enjoy your retirement Maggie, you sure DESERVE it!

John Burnam's book is out

As promised, I would let you all know as a reminder when this book came out.

Author and good friend, John Burnam(Dog Tags of Courage) and founder of The National War Dog Monument, has his latest book available, "A Soldier's Best Friend."

I found it on Amazon.com under his name: John C. Burnam & the book is also available on other sites as well.

ENJOY!!!

John is not only an INCREDIBLE Author, he's become such an amazing friend!  He's so very thoughtful.  I was in a nasty car accident last week, and he sent me the most BEAUTIFUL flowers ever.  Please check out his site that's still under construction at 

http://www.jbmf.us/  He is working very hard for our Nation's four legged Hero's!!!

One year ago today American Hero's Cpl. Kory Wiens & MWD Cooper gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom

July 6, 2007 Cpl. Kory Wiens and MWD were KIA in Muhammed Sath, Iraq.  They are the only team(Handler and dog) to be KIA together since the War in Iraq and Afghanistan has begun.  

Below, I added another video of Kory & Cooper titled, "Kory and Cooper after a long mission."  Kory referred to Cooper as, "His son."  Watch the video's of them, and you can just see the love and adoration he had for Cooper.

Always remember our Hero's because remembering keeps their memories alive!

Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July and God Bless our Troops!

John Burnam Monument Foundation

John Burnam, Founder of the National War Dog Monument, is hard at work again, or I should say as ALWAYS.  My friend John who is the Author of, "Dog Tags of Courage," is such an amazing man!  He works so incredibly hard for our Nation's for legged Soldier's.

His foundation, "John Burnam Monument Foundation," has a new website, and is currently under construction.  Their objective is to provide insight into the historical and heroic legacy of the U.S. Military Working Dog Team and their contribution to the defense of our nation's freedom.

Funds for their foundation "JBMF" will be used for education and to help assist the goal of the National War Dogs Monument, Inc. to establish and maintain the monument.

Quote by John Burnam, "It is the first time in our nation's U.S. Military history that an animal, a dog, has been elevated to national monument status by law."

Please look at this website & support this amazing cause!
