Family to Receive K-9 of Fallen Marine

December 13th, Fox news reported that the family of Marine Corporal Dustin J. Lee will receive his K-9 partner on December 21, 2007. Corporal Lee was killed defending our freedom on March 21, 2007 in Fallujah Iraq and his K-9 partner was wounded.

The family of the 20-year-old Marine finally won their petition to receive his dog Lex from the Marine Corps. The injuries Lex sustained were not life-threatening and he was returned to active duty. I am glad the Marine Corps came to an agreement with this family who have sacrificed so much. Hopefully Lex lives a long life and provides some comfort to the family of a fallen Marine.
