subject: The Dogs Of War [print this page] While there are many memorials in honor of the War Dogs many of those who served with these animals feel that more needs to be done to honor their contributions. An effort was launched to have a national memorial erected, this effort was rejected on the basis that "the dogs role in the Vietnam War was incidental". Within the National Cemetery System there are no K-9 burials or even tributes allowed. Arlington National Cemetery will not even allow a tree to be planted because to honor these animals would sully this hallowed ground. It is most likely safe to say that the men who served with those valiant Dogs Of War would have a different opinion.
