"A Tribute to SAR Dogs"
A Tribute to the search dogs of 9/11
While viewing this Tribute to SAR Dogs, remember that although it seemed like the world stopped on September 11, 2001...it did not. As the eyes of the world watched while hundreds of SAR Dogs and their handlers were searching at the WTC and the Pentagon; all over our country children were still missing, elderly people suffering from Alzheimer's disease were still wandering off, hikers were still getting lost, and people were still drowning. Hundreds of SAR dogs were searching there too, searching their communities to bring the lost or the missing home to their families and loved ones.
Whether they were at the WTC or searching our own neighborhoods, these hard working dogs provide joy and also closure to thousands of families and will go on, for as long as they can, searching to find loved ones lost or missing in our communities. All of our nation's SAR Dogs are heroes..and someday one could
be YOUR HERO!!

"Journey to the Heavens"
A Tribute to the Columbia 7 - Space Shuttle Columbia
Those of us that went on this deployment, to search for the astronauts that lost their lives on this mission, have memories that we will never forget. We trudged through pastures, forests and swamps, battled brambles, thorns, high winds and freezing rain. We became witnesses to a horrible tragedy. But we also witnessed the best of humanity as thousands of people came together in those awful conditions for a common goal..."to bring our astronauts home." And it is those seven astronauts, men and women most of us had never heard of before February 1, 2003, that we will always remember.
