Monday May 19 I had the honor of meeting Lex and the family of Corp. Lee. As a EOD/EDD K9 handler I know how special the K9’s are. They are not just dog’s there family. It was a very special and honorable thing the U.S.M.C. did to allow the family of Corp. Lee to adopt Lex. I pray for the safety of all our Troop’s and there loyal K9’s over sea’s. Keep up the great work keeping our Country Free. Burt Strickland EDD
