To our active and retired servicemen and women, thank you for your contribution. I'd also like to thank those "forgotten vets" who save hundreds of lives every year ...
Air Force Staff Sergeant Brent Olson received a Purple Heart and an Army commendation medal for what happened the day he and his dog Blek were involved in an explosion in Afghanistan. Blek received nothing. At a ceremony where Olson was awarded another medal, he wanted Blek to receive his due recognition. He leaned over and pinned his own Purple Heart to Bleks harness.
