A United States Military Working Dog Services Award

description

Summary

A United States Military Working Dog Services Award rests on retired military working dog, Patti’s neck after her award ceremony Oct. 24 on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The U.S. War Dogs Association promotes the recognition and honor of military working dogs nationwide and presents awards to handlers and dogs who have remained committed to excellence in their work over the years. Patti received the award for her actions during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Patti served as a combat tracking dog, and though injured in the line of duty, returned to recertification several months of rehabilitation later. Today, she lives happily with her former handler and current owner, James Altman, the installation chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear defense protection agent on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, who hails from Sebring, Florida.
