| The
War-Dog Memorial (pictured above) was erected at the Air
Museum, March AFB, Riverside, California, near the Riverside National
Cemetery, the Nation's second largest military cemetery. It was dedicated
on Presidents Day, March 21, 2000.
A 2nd War-Dog Memorial, an exact copy of the one shown, was erected on 'Sacrifice Field' at Fort Benning, Georgia. It was dedicated in October, 2000. They
bear the inscription:
|
| They protected
us on the field of battle.
They watch over our eternal rest. We are grateful. |
 |
| A 3rd War-Dog Memorial was dedicated in Port Neches, Texas, (a small city on the Gulf Coast of Texas, north of Houston). |
 |
| Another memorial to these brave dogs is to be dedicated on the Sunday during the Memorial Day 2001 weekend outside of Chicago. |
| The
sculpture at Riverside is to be surrounded by tiles, (sample to right)
The museum is taking orders for those who want to purchase these inscribed
tiles that are to be placed on the concrete surface next to the sculpture.
