Dedicated to America’s unsung heroes: military dogs. Military dogs save lives, sometimes at the expense of their own. These courageous animals provide comfort and companionship to American troops, detect explosive devices and even shield soldiers from flying bullets. A military dog was deployed by navy SEALs in the mission to capture Osama bin Laden. In 2009, a Silver Star, one of the navy’s highest awards, was awarded posthumously to a dog named Remco after he charged an insurgent’s hideout in Afghanistan.
