Paul Ray Smith SFC / US Army Medal of Honor Before deploying to Iraq, Smith had written to his parents, saying "There are two ways to come home, stepping off the plane and being carried off the plane. It doesn't matter how I come home, because I am prepared to give all that I am to ensure that all my boys make it home." #military #tribute #heroeswearkevlar #themiliclub

CPL Dustin Lee was noted to be “uncanny as a dog handler” and finished first in his training class. Dustin signed up for the Marines before even graduating highschool because of the attacks on 9/11. The adoption of Lex was a way of dealing with the loss of their son. Dustin J. Lee CPL / USMC Lex SSG / USMC #military #tribute #workingdog #heroeswearkevlar #themiliclub #themiliclub
