VETERAN WORKS TOWARD A NEW MILITARY WORKING DOG MEMORIAL - “I’ve carried a photo of that dog in my wallet for 42 years,” he said. The memories of his time with the dog motivate Chilcoat in the drive to gain funding for the monument.”

Larry Chilcoat was a military dog handler who served with a German Shepherd named Geisha during the Vietnam War. Now, 42 years later, memories of his time with Geisha are spurring him to raise funds for a memorial called the Military Working Dog Teams National Monument. The monument will be constructed at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. Here’s more from The Rockford Pilot:

His experiences with “Geisha” are etched deep in his memory and are a motivating factor in his current efforts to the eventual construction of the National War Dog Teams Monument at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio…

Approximately 500 military dogs and 263 handlers died in Vietnam. Unfortunately for the dogs surviving combat, most were left behind when the American forces withdrew from Vietnam…

A national monument requires Presidential approval. After several years, Congressman Walter B. Jones of North Carolina wrote the legislation and President George W. Bush signed the authorization for the monument into law in 2008. President Barack Obama signed legislation into law in 2010 authorizing the John Burnam Monument Foundation (JBMF) to collect donations and build the monument. This is the first time in American history an animal has been elevated to national monument status.

Geisha the dog must have left a deep impression on this man. 42 years is a long time to remember a loyal friend. Hopefully, funding goals are reached soon so we can all appreciate the sacrifices of these dog teams. Click here for the full story, and here to learn more about the monument.

SOLDIER STORIES: Black Heart Love.

The region around Kandahar city in Afghanistan is the Taliban’s birthplace and breeding ground. That makes it a key location in the U.S. military’s security efforts. But “securing” a region in which you can hardly distinguish friend from foe is far easier said than done. NPR staff photographer David Gilkey just returned from the region, where he spent time with the 101st Airborne Division. Their mission is two-fold: chase out the Taliban and win the trust of locals — if they can.
