Baghdad dogs follow dead soldier to U.S.

I thought that this was very touching.  It sounds like the world lost a very kind young man.

I love this story!!!  I remember when he first passed away (apparently he died in his sleep) and they weren't sure if they were going to be able to get the dogs or not.  It's so great that they did!
God placed me on this earth to accomplish certain tasks...I'm so far behind I'll never die!!
