The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

The story of a dog - and two owners
Xavier has a moving and poignant tale of a dog and its former owner on his blog. Go read. It's worth it.
Ran some dogpile and truthorfiction.com searches. Snopes claims the story is untrue as written (she searched Silver Star awardees). Still a helluva tearjerker and representative of what we wish were true.
I'm skeptical too. It isn't that I can't be convinced, but I reckon if a man won a Silver Star there would be some mention of it that Google could find.
